Build Your Own Balance Board (Part 2)

Class Description

Build your own Balance Board in this two part class! A balance board is kind of like a skateboard attached to a round piece of wood that helps you improve your balance in a fun way, like surfing on wood. We will use the planer, band saw, jack planes, trim router, and sanders.

We will learn to do simple glue ups with clamps, and then you can finish your board however you like with paint, stains, and finishes. Kids under 12 will need an adult to join them.
