After completing the pick-up truck this student decided to try his hand at using a coping saw.  As you can see from the finished product "the sword" was a complete success!  With lots of craftsmanship the student used a coping saw to cut the initial shape out of a piece of wood.  Then with the assistance of a shinto rasp he was able to refine his project by sculpting the wood into the final shape.  Finally with the use of his sanding block and plenty of effort his project was finished.

This past Summer we had lots of programs throughout the Bay Area.  Kids were happy at work on their projects.  One "Happy Camper" is holding his newest treasure:  pick-up truck which he built over the four-day Kids' Carpentry Camp.
