The Art of Woodworking


Russ Neale, a community partner of The Arc of Delaware County, has shared his love of woodworking by providing many classes over the past several years.  Over a period of 8 weeks students learned about the types and properties of wood and how they can be used as well as how to operate and work safely with the tools and equipment in his workshop.   Russ’s class is very popular and and when students show their finished projects to friends,
co-workers, and family members, the more people want to participate.

This summer Joe Pantale, Tina Cawley, Robert Dircks, and Tracey Rossi enjoyed creating  a variety of personal projects including small wooden chests, bird houses, and a team project that Robert and Tracey worked on,  a fabulous park bench that was donated to Resources for Industry in Walton, NY.   The pride and enjoyment over their finished projects can be seen on our Flickr site: https://www.flickr.com/photos/delarc/14935643034/
