Common questions

Is the story just for fun?

No. The Rangers of the Heartwood story is the engine that keeps a young child doing real, repetitive skill work. The skills, tools and projects are 100% real woodworking.

What age is right?

Junior Woodworker is for ages 6 to 12. We group by age and ability so each child is challenged but never overwhelmed.

Can we try once first?

Yes. The trial is a full class, and it's fully rebated when you enrol.

Do I need to buy tools?

No. Everything's provided. Just bring your child in closed-toe shoes.

What if it's not the right fit?

Not sure? Start with the trial, fully rebated when you enrol, no commitment.
