Craftsmanship is becoming a lost art in America and we are working on changing that, starting with kids!
Hammer & Nail’s Kid’s School of Woodworking teaches children to properly use hand tools while constructing real wood projects. These are quality projects the children are proud to put their name on! Kids learn how to safely use Japanese hand saws, hammers and drills, among other tools. Safety gear is provided, and safe skills are taught.
