🔨 Module III Highlights: Precision Cutting & Bench Assembly 🔨

In Module III, students demonstrated more advanced carpentry skills through complex cutting and full project assembly—taking their bench builds to the next level!

This phase focused on accuracy, safety, and teamwork as students worked through real construction tasks, including:
📏 Accurately measuring stretcher pieces to ensure proper bench stabilization
🪚 Safely and precisely cutting stretcher components using a circular saw
🔩 Installing stretcher supports into the bench frame to ensure structural integrity
🧠 Evaluating fit, alignment, and overall craftsmanship as part of their completed group projects

Students applied foundational skills in measurement and tool use to execute more complex builds with greater independence and confidence.

💪 From cut to completion, they showed growth in precision, collaboration, and trade readiness—bringing their bench projects to life with purpose and skill.

Thanks Mr. Luther for your work with these young men on building skills in carpentry and completing this project!

A Birmingham Corps at AmeriCorps member serving with LegacyWorks teamed up with Hearts In Hands to build ramps and complete home repairs for two disabled couples in our community. Ranging in age from 13 to 19, these participants put their trade skills to work — making homes safer and more accessible.

Thank you to LegacyWorks, Hearts in Hands, and Habitat for Humanity for bringing this project to life 🤝
