Free woodworking plans are a wonderful resource for students and shop teachers. Having a selection of ready made plans ready gives students a selection of items to build in the wood shop. This is simpler for them than starting from scratch to design something themselves or having to come up with their own idea for a wood project. Having woodworking projects and plans available for their students also focuses shop teachers.

When the days start getting shorter in the Fall, we have to gather as much color as we can, and let it sparkle and warm our house. A great way to add color to a drab day is with a Sun Catcher in every window. After making one Crayon Sprinkles Sun Catcher we realized this would be an on-going project. There isn’t a window in my house that doesn’t deserve its own little sun catcher. So, we started making big ones for the big windows, and little ones for the small panes, and we haven’t run out of ideas yet. With a whole big box of crayons, you never run out of colors either! We have some designs that are very Picasso-like and some designs that are very life-like. Whatever the artistic leanings are in your family, these sun catchers will certainly bring in the color!

I always loved do it yourself projects, but up until recently, space has been a problem. I could only do the most simple home projects in my small apartment. Carpentry projects were right out of the question. Instead, I would content myself to work with clay, wire, and other simple materials. I would make many sculptures and pictures, but I would also make household implements such as spice racks and shelves. The only woodworking projects I could engage in were the smallest ones. I could do whittling, wood carving, and little else. I just simply did not have the space or the tools.
