"Hey everyone! I'm Zach and I own a custom woodworking business in town called Ashes To Beauty Woodworking making furniture and rustic home decor from reclaimed wood and live edge wood (www.ashestobeautynw.com). Below is a layout of what this class will be all about.
Woodworking 2.0 is for the older pre-teen/teenagers and it is going to be a class that your kids will not want to miss! During the span of this class, we will be making a rad charcuterie board and a rustic serving tray! Practical items that can be taken home and used on a daily basis while learning woodworking skills that they can hold on to for years to come!
What will the kids be learning about in this class?
- Different types of wood
- Different purposes for the different types of wood
- Basic woodworking tools and their uses
- How to make straight cuts
- Gluing wood (the proper way)
- Lots about sanding and the different coarse grits of sandpaper
- What to seal/finish your project with (food-grade oil and non-food grade oil)
- And much more
My goal is to teach practical skills that can be carried on through the years of growing up whether they do woodworking as a profession when they get older or to just be able to use it as a hobby. Also, I want to inspire future woodworkers to chase their dreams if they have that desire to do woodworking as a profession when they grow up.
So come with an eagerness to have lots of fun and be ready to get a little dusty as we take a journey into Woodworking 2.0!"

"The peculiar value of geography lies in its fitness to nourish the mind with ideas and furnish the imagination with pictures."- Charlotte Mason. Miss Mason also held that "geography should be learned chiefly from maps, and the child should begin the study by learning 'the meaning of a map,' and how to use it." A basic knowledge of where things are located in the world is severely lacking today. World Geography will acquaint students with the basics of cartography and geography. We will primarily focus on map basics, the locations of countries, cities, and physical features (mountains, rivers, lakes, oceans, etc.) around the world as well as local features, Washington and Oregon counties and cities, and US states. Students will need access to the internet. We will use Seterra and Google Maps extensively. Students will also need to check the class Slack channel regularly, as everything for class will be posted there. Each week, students will be given a list of locations to find and memorize. Students MUST COMPLETE THE MAPWORK AT HOME in order to get any value from this class. Each week, we will cover the next week’s material, play geography games, and take the weekly quiz.
