Brick laying machine GIF

This was a project I put together for my wife's middle-school class year-end project - "mini blanket chests" - Radiata for the frames; birch tile underlayment ply for the panels, and cedar for the legs.

truly great projects for the youngsters. Most of all your dedication to make all of the parts for them to finish and assemble. When I started middle school one of my teachers decided it would be a fun project for each of us kids to make a bird house. Yeah right! She showed up with a stack of 1 by wood some hand saws hammers and nails a brace and an adjustable bit. For 1 hour every day for a week we destroyed our class room with saw dust and the sound of nails being bent. A few of us kids were a lot more fortunate than the others since we lived on farms and had been doing things since we became enough to pull 1 end of a 4 ft cross cut saw. My bird house turned out to look like 1 hole outhouse but at least the 4 sides top and bottom fit together. most though became a failed attempt to resemble anything.

My feeble attempt at hebel'



just a handsaw, rasp & a file needed to work this stuff.
