Shauna Bright
My name is Shauna Bright, I am a mother of 5. I helped raise my 3 step children since they were 7, 9, and 12 years old, my oldest is now 30! My 2 younger kids are 10 and 13 and have been homeschooled since 2019. They helped encourage my love for teaching! My husband and I have a small business and have done tons of work in the Santa Clarita area making custom built in cabinets and furniture for 18 years now. It is just my husband and I running the business and doing everything from start to finish. I have learned how to measure, design, plan, build, and install every project. I'm looking forward to passing on my trade to hopefully help inspire our youth and develop a skill they can use for the rest of their lives.

Winter:
We will start off our class learning about types of tools and how to safely use them. The students will also learn how to read a tape measure, calculate measurements, and plan out our projects. For this beginning class we will be using hand tools to cut the wood projects and will also learn how to assemble projects using a drill, hammer and nails. For the final project we will learn how to miter cut moulding and assemble using an air nail gun.
This class will help introduce how to safely use tools, use a tape measure, cut with a hand saw, use a drill, use a hammer, use a hand screw driver, how to use a combination square, use and clean off wood glue, sand, how to cut moulding, and if we can get to it use stain and finish on the final project.
