Bench project part 1

Year 6 will be designing and making some seating for our outdoor classroom using wood from the school grounds over the next few weeks. We had an introduction using saws and drills to make scale models out of some scrap pallets.

Sawing the pallet (safety glove on non-saw hand).
Clamping the wood to the table.
Using a hand drill to make hole for the legs.

    1. Hi, it wasn't very dangerous because we wore safety equipment (see gloves) and made sure we knew how to use the tools safely. Thanks for your concern though!
