Project Photos
The photos are mostly of miter box sawing projects, simple coping saw projects, and a few that require both skill sets. Once skills are developed, students are encouraged to modify projects or design their own (with instructors approval).
Project examples are listed according to the amount of time it generally takes to build them and more asterisks mean more time and also a higher degree of difficulty in construction..
Listed first are the projects that can generally be built in one classroom hour. They are marked with one asterisk *
After that, two asterisks ** mean the project generally takes one to two woodbus hours to complete
Three asterisks *** mean the project generally takes two or three woodbus hours to complete
