Learning About Lumber

Part of building a project is to be able to choose the right kind of lumber. Lumber actually has different grades for appearance or strength. I came across a neat site that parents could use to help teach their children about lumber.

Start HERE to learn about things to look for in lumber and to understand how it is graded.

Then go to THEIR PAGE filled with terms and definitions that everyone, but especially our boys, need to know before they start buying lumber.

Titus 2:3 says that we are to be "...teachers of good things...". We believe that part of these good things are practical skills that we all need in every day life to care for our family and neighbors. One of our primary responsibilities as parents is equip our children with the skills and tools to one day be productive, well rounded adults. Children need to be exposed to many different areas of work. Not only should they know how to work, but they should want to work. May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us- yes, establish the work of our hands. Psalm 90:17
