The youth learn to use hand tools as well as power tools, including circular saws and pneumatic nailers (we make sure 10 fingers to start, 10 finger at the end of the day). The project was a Little Free Library and a Blessing Pantry. Each will be painted and placed around town for good use. Team Toby and Team RocketMan (Andrew Ring) did awesome jobs.
