Add some decorations to your home for Halloween or Dia de los Muertos. While the holidays are very different, there is some overlap in iconography. Use the scroll saw (one of the safest, beginner-friendly and most accessible tools in the woodshop) to create skulls, bats, spirits, or anything spooky you feel like designing. You are only limited by your imagination and your ability to cut on the line you put on the piece of wood. A materials fee is due at registration. Closed-toe shoes required.

Utiliza la sierra de calar de banco (una de las herramientas más seguras, accesibles y adecuadas para principiantes en el taller de carpintería) para crear calaveras, murciélagos, espíritus o cualquier motivo espeluznante que desees diseñar. Tu imaginación y tu habilidad para cortar siguiendo la línea que marques en la pieza de madera son tus únicos límites. Se requiere el pago de una tarifa por materiales al inscribirse. Es obligatorio llevar zapatos cerrados.
