TSO-F Day 1: Tool Training Time

A new round of Tinkerers arrived Sunday with the expectation that they would be learning how to wield a variety of tools. They were not disappointed.

From the chop saw to clamps to drills, Tinkerers were given tutorials on how to load pre-drill and drill bits for driving screws, how to use several different types of clamps, and how to use the chop saw for cutting wood beams safely.

In addition to tool training, Tinkerers were given a tour highlighting the two build sites they would be using throughout the week, flora and fauna identification, the forest play area, and the wash station for clean up.

Check out the photo slideshow of Tinkerers as they use the various tools to create abstract art and other learn-by-doing tasks.
