Speedy Scooter Family Project
This is a half-day family event for 1 parent + 1 or + 2 kids. Building this Speedy Scooter for kids is the perfect way for a family to bond. The Scooter itself can be sized for kids, and is made from sturdy Nyatoh and Meranti wood while the wheels are made of smooth-running TPR, with sealed bearings.
There will be a maximum of 2 groups per session so there will be plenty of guided interaction and quality bonding time.
Price is RM580 per family of 2 or 3 pax.
What will you learn:
Parents will learn how to operate some power tools such as the Mitre Saw and Drill Press, safely and accurately, while kids will learn how to do basic woodworking like sanding, joining and finishing. All will learn how to cooperate and complete tasks as a team.
Some pieces are pre-cut while others will need to be cut to length and shaped. Power Tools used include the Mitre Saw, random orbit sanders, cordless drills and router/trimmer. You will be guided on the safe operation of each of these.
Pre-requisite:
No prior woodworking experience needed. Just a desire to have some family fun time, some confidence in your ability to learn how to use power tools, the ability to follow instructions and a bit of imagination to customise your design.
A signed waiver is also required for all participants.
What you need to bring:
You will need your own dust masks as well as covered shoes.
