This wooden fishing figure is a character build that kids instantly connect with—fun, expressive, and packed with satisfying details. The best part is seeing the figure stand tall with a rod in hand and a fish hanging neatly from the line.

This is a premium, fundamentals-building workshop using hand tools only. Students work with solid wood in small groups (max 6) with instructor-led, step-by-step guidance, developing confidence through accurate marking, careful drilling, hand-fitting, and a clean finishing process. Over two sessions, kids strengthen real woodworking fundamentals—safe habits, tidy assembly, and furniture-smooth results.

What You’ll Learn

  • Measuring and marking: consistent part sizing, centerlines, and reference edges
  • Hand-sawing and trimming: refining the body, arms, legs, and seat parts (no machines)
  • Hand drilling: clean holes for dowels, rod placement, and hanging line points (no machines)
  • Shaping: rounding edges and smoothing surfaces for safe handling
  • Hand-fitting: aligning limbs, keeping the figure stable, and balancing the stance
  • Cord work: knot-tying and line routing so the fish hangs neatly
  • Finishing: progressive sanding and a kid-safe finish for a durable, smooth feel
