The Go See It trip to American Woodcarving School is on for this Saturday at 12:30 PM. This should be an excellent opportunity to tie together the art of woodcarving with our own Pinewood Derby experience. And during our next den meeting, the boys will practice their own woodcarving skills using plastic butter knives and bars of Ivory soap!
The whole experience will last only 20 minutes. The boys will learn about safety and will have the opportunity to observe woodworkers crafting their projects and ask questions. We will meet in the parking lot of American Woodcarving School at 12:30 PM and will enter the school at 12:35 sharp. We will depart the school at 12:55 PM. You will be headed home by 1:00 PM.
Please note that parental supervision is extremely important during this visit as we will be visiting a working school environment and the tools woodworkers use are sharp and can be very dangerous to curious 6 and 7 year old boys.
Thanks and see you at 12:30 on Saturday, January 17th!
