DIY Wood Projects

Most kids enjoy working with their hands and learning new things. That's why woodworking can be an a fun family activity. Barbara Robertson, author and woodworker, says that most kids can learn to hammer at age six and can do a beautiful job with simple power tools like drills -- as long as a parent works with them.

Summer is the perfect time to get the young ones in your life involved in creative woodworking projects. Woodworking has many benefits: it builds hand-eye coordination, encourages creativity, and builds self-esteem. Sound interesting? Here are a few woodworking resources available at GRPL:
