My Project

Woodworking teaches not only practical skills but also critical thinking, precision, and patience. To elevate our technology classes and provide our students with real-world skills, we are seeking a JET 15-Inch Helical Head Planer. This robust tool will allow our students to work on a variety of projects from simple crafts to complex furniture, enhancing their learning experience and providing them with the satisfaction of creating something tangible.

The JET 15-Inch Helical Head Planer is essential for our class because it allows for precise wood manipulation, making it possible for students to engage in projects that require a high level of craftsmanship.

Currently, our school lacks the equipment necessary to teach these valuable skills, which are applicable in both academic and real-world scenarios.

Grades 6-8
