A 10-week introduction to woodworking for teen girls from the 25th District PAL. The students began with hammers and nails, moving on to all power equipment. They were taught all the safety and procedural techniques to make unique handled totes, woodturning ornaments, sculptures, pens, utensils, and bowls. The program has been broadened to include another local PAL center and welcomes middle school girls and boys.
