Synopsis

BUILDER BOARDS, CONSTRUCTION PLANS, Community Service and the World's Largest Set, (4th edition) contains all the details a woodworker needs to construct the full set of parts for this remarkable imagination set. Wide-eyed children put BUILDER BOARDS to work, using them to erect structures actually large enough to play in. Builder Boards by Jack McKee was originally published in 1997. The new, 2025 4th edition, contains information gleaned from 25+ years of building experience combined with stories about using Builder Boards with the children themselves. It includes new gable-end and roof-board designs and covers the use of recycled and leftover materials to construct the boards. There are easy-to-use layout plans, tips on how to use a shaper and a discussion of a CNC to cut notches. Included are new sanding and finishing recommendations.

À propos de l'auteur

When Jack McKee was 40 he figured out he wanted to teach high school or middle school shop. It was the early 1990's so the timing was not great as shop classes were being bulldozed by computer technology. Instead he volunteered in his son's class and found immediate connection with kids wanting to mess around with science and build stuff. Together they made a Rube Goldburg machine, an electricity board, and roasted hot dogs with solar energy. This lead to a job teaching "shop" to kindergardeners at a Montessori School and to teaching woodworking and science to 5-12 year olds for the parks. It was the most interesting, fun, and meaningful work he had ever done. Out of that work came two books, Woodshop for Kids and Builder Boards. After he retired he made the World's Largest Set of Builder Boards and takes it to community events.
