My Project

My students work extra hard on finishing their projects. Although this is a great quality to have, it does chew up a lot of time. Having battery power sanders that work with our existing shop tools would be a great aid in speeding things up ultimately allowing them to create more projects. Anytime we can create more sawdust and projects is a great time to me! This project is a project that will affect every student I have with every single woodworking project they complete. They will be ecstatic to get power sanding equipment!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
