WOODWORK PROJECTS

A woodworking project involves creating items or structures using wood as the primary material. These projects can range from simple and functional items to intricate and decorative pieces. Woodworking projects often include a variety of skills such as measuring, cutting, shaping, joining, and finishing wood.

Examples of woodworking projects include:

1. Furniture: Building tables, chairs, shelves, or cabinets.
2. Decorative Items: Crafting wooden sculptures, frames, or wall art.
3. Home Accessories: Making items like wooden bowls, trays, or coasters.
4. Outdoor Projects: Constructing birdhouses, planters, or benches.
5. Structures: Building small structures like birdhouses, dog houses, or garden sheds.

Creating a Wooden Pencil Holder

Materials:

- Small wooden block or plank

- Sandpaper

- Wood glue

- Paints or wood finish (optional)

Tools

To complete the Wooden Pencil Holder project, students will need the following basic tools:

1. Wooden Block or Plank: The main material for the project.
2. Sandpaper: For smoothing the surfaces of the wood.
3. Wood Glue: To securely attach different pieces of wood together.
4. Saw: If customization or resizing of the wooden block or plank is required, a saw will be needed. Ensure students have proper supervision when using a saw.
5. Paints or Wood Finish (optional): If students want to add color or protect the wood with a finish.
6. Paintbrushes: For painting if at all paints or finishes are to be used.

Procedure

1. Prepare the Wood: Sand the wooden block or plank to smooth the surfaces.
2. Design: Students can get creative with the design. They can decide on the shape of the pencil holder—whether it's a basic rectangle, a custom shape, or even something like an animal.
3. Cutting: If needed, cut the wood to the desired size and shape. This step can be done by the students or with the help of a teacher or parent, depending on the tools available.
4. Assembly: Use wood glue to attach any additional pieces or shapes to the main block. Make sure it's secure and let it dry.
5. Finish: If time allows, students can paint or finish their pencil holder to add a personal touch.

EVALUATION: 1. Identify simple wood work project

2. Identify the tools and materials to be used.
3. Construct a wooden pencil holder.
