Small Woodworking Projects at Local Senior Center

For the last year I’ve been going to the local assisted living facility, pretty much once a week, to guide those interested in small woodworking projects. Sometimes we’ll watch a video on woodworking themes like furniture or violin making.

I try to come up with projects that the seniors can have some hands on participation. To date we’ve made a birdhouse, flag stand for the vets, cribbage board, and trivet. Presently we’re working on a keepsake box/hamster crypt. That was the first time I’ve made dovetails on my Incra.

If anyone has any suggestions for small projects we could make, I’m all ears.
