Builder Boards….will have children of all ages working together to create play structures of their own design.….the design is basic, yet unique. You will look at it and say, “Why didn’t I think of that?” If you have kids or know kids…build these boards, and strike fire into their imaginations. Daniel Carter, This Old Workshop
We started an industrial technology club at my school and our kickoff project was to build a Builder Board Playhouse for a local preschool. I had previously purchased Jack McKee’s Builder Boards book after reading his article (in Tech Directions, Dec 1995). Here, at SMC all the students thought it would be a great project. The high school industrial tech students reclaimed the wood and steel from the gym bleachers that were being replaced, and they donated some of the wood for our project. We have had very positive feedback from the community including a front page article about the project. If anyone is looking for a com- munity service project, I highly recommend the Builder Boards. A third party sent me this review, (and a picture, page 44) and I was never able to track down the source.
