Leo's first shelf — Carpenters · The Makers

In the invented Alderbrook workshop, carpenter Bruna helps Leo make a small pine shelf for her books. Help Leo choose each step well.

Your task

Make the best choices.

• Screws going near the end of a board can split the wood. A small pilot hole drilled first guides the screw and stops splitting. Sanding along the grain gives a smooth finish without scratches.
• Invented guild stories to learn from. Never try fire, hot metal, glass, blades or power tools on your own: crafts like these are learned with a trained adult.
• Every craft came from many people in many places. Nothing about you is collected.

Score

• Craft knowledge — You understood how this craft works.
• Making it well — You put the steps in a sensible order and used the right tools.
• Care for people & planet — You kept people safe and used materials wisely.

In real life

Pine is a softwood that is light and easy to work, which is why it is common for simple furniture. Water-based finishes give off fewer fumes than many solvent-based varnishes.

The guild stories are invented, to learn from. Fire, heat, blades and tools are only for trained adults: learn these crafts with a trained adult, never at home. Nothing about you is collected; progress stays on this device.
