Mike invited Maria, Romulo and Arivaldo to join him in the workshop to make their own special project, after they helped him to make the picnic tables last week. Maria was first and chose a plan for this beautiful chair. All the scrap wood (Brazilian cherry, oak, and pine) was found in the barn so the whole thing cost about $2 bucks in hardware! Mike cut some of the more difficult angles but she learned how to read a blueprint, use a mitre saw, planer, drill, belt sander, table saw, and jigsaw. I think you can tell by her smile how proud she is of her accomplishment! Please continue to pray for the bright future that God has planned for her.
