We built a picnic table from scratch. Then we stood on it, just to be sure. 😎

Every build starts with a plan. Ours started with “Wait, which way does this go?”

Mr. Thad has been teaching the trades for over 30 years. He shows you how, then lets you do it.

One holds, one measures, one drills. Here, you're never figuring it out on your own.

Hours of sanding later: no splinters allowed at this picnic.

Frames, screws, and focus. This is where the drawing becomes something you can touch.

Built in the shop, put together in the backyard.

Everyone grabs a side. Zero dropped boards. 💪

Second inspection. Still holding strong. 🤩

It started as a pile of wood. Now it's a table, and a crew that can say, “We built this.”
