Much was
accomplished over the course of 7 weeks when Russ Neale, a community partner
who has extensive skills in carpentry, led a comprehensive workshop this summer
and fall. Four students learned woodworking
“A-Z”, from the various types of wood, their properties and uses, to safety and
operation of equipment and tools.
Each student designed and completed an
individual project of their choosing. They also worked as a team to create a
project together. October 25th was a
special day when they delivered their team project, an Adirondack chair and
table, to be enjoyed by people at Main Street Residence in Delhi, NY.
Proudly
displaying their craftsmanship are 2 of the students: Tracey Rossi (seated)
and Will Vovchik standing behind Tracy. Also pictured (left to right) are staff
from The Arc of Delaware County Mike Sikorski, Annette Plath, James Callender,
and Russ Neale, Carpentry Instructor.
Not pictured, are two individuals from Community Living Skills-Walton
that participated in the class.
Pictured showing his individual project is Will Vovchik with a
cherry picture frame he made that enhances a drawing made by a friend.
