| SAE: | Cut out & Paint Lawn Figures |
| Description: | |
| Cutting out and painting lawn figures is an excellent project
for students to enhance their woodworking skills, learned in the agricultural
mechanics classes. Students
would cut out and paint lawn figures after school in the agricultural
mechanics lab or in a home shop.
The potential to sell these figures is excellent.
This will enable the student to develop his/her personal relation
skills. By selling the
lawn figures, this will aid the student financially and develop their
record keeping skills.
