Woodworking with Grandad

Griffin had fun this summer when he visited his Grandad who has a great workshop with lots of tools. Here's what he says about the project they made together:
"It is a wooden box made with plywood on the bottom and solid wood on the sides. We used a pin nailer to hold on the slices of wood onto slats (like paint stirring sticks). The wood slices were made from tree branches that fell naturally and were slightly rotted. They were on the ground and they were going to be recycled but I reused them. Grandad said he didn't want to use his power saw because it could rust the blade. We used a tree trimming saw but and it was hard to saw by hand. Then the slat grid was screwed on using 3 screws.  I carved the patterns on the sides with a dremel tool. It was not cordless like the drill we used. Then I put white craft paint in the grooves. Grandad clear coated the wood slices."
