Woodworking Mentor

Hi I have 12 and 10 year old boys that do woodworking as one of their 4H projects. My 12 year will be considered an apprentices this year since it is this third year in the project area and last year he was questioned on knowledge of species used, joinery, and quality and appropriate use of finish which was above my knowledge. I wondered if someone would be willing to meet with him to make sure he plans this years project according to what he will be judged on.

Thank you!

I’d be glad to help him. I have been a custom woodworker and builder for many years and have taught at various places including LMN. Let me know if you’re interested.

Hi cafwood. I apologize for the delayed response. Life got busy and not that school is out my boys are asking about starting their projects. I’m just circling back to the post and I really appreciated you offer to help. If you are still willing and avaiable, I’d love to connect.

I should have some time this next week to meet. After that, it will probably be mid-July before I have some time.
