Summer Camp for Woodworking

Doug Stowe (box maker and child woodworking advocate) has an interesting post on his website about a summer camp for woodworking kids run at a local church.  The kids made benches with vises and seem to be using miter boxes as a way to keep the cuts straight AND safe.

I like the Stanley Miterbox specifically for use with kids because it has clamping pins so the kids can keep their hands off the wood while they are sawing. It can be used with both pull and push saws. Kids seem to find the pull saws easier to use.
