Folding Chair: Woodworking For Kids
Time: 18:21
Submitted by: Craig Stevens, Woodworkers Resource

If you're looking for a fun weekend project that you can build with your kids, check out this episode from the Woodworkers Resource, a Web site and video podcast hosted by Knoxville woodworker Craig Stevens.

Stevens walks through the process of building a neat folding chair (actually it's more like a stool) with basic woodworking tools. The project is just the right skill level for the budding woodworker in your family. "After building this chair with my son, though, I realized that even if you don't have kids this project is so useful you're going to want to build one for yourself," Stevens wrote on his Web site.

We're a big fan of woodworking for kids and not just because it will help create the next-generation of Fine Woodworking readers. There are fewer and fewer woodworking programs these days in our schools and it's our responsibility to make sure the craft gets passed on.
