Blum, Inc., Royal Plywood and Laguna Tools participated in the SkillsUSA California Region 3 woodworking contests, held on Saturday, February 1 at Los Angeles Trade Technical College. Nearly forty area high school students were registered for the Cabinetmaking contest and the Introductory Woodworking contest. The Cabinetmaking contestants prepared a bill of materials and built cabinet components, while the Introductory Woodworking contestants built a magazine holder during the three hour contest. Royal Plywood donated over $1,500 in material for the two woodworking contests as well as the Carpentry contest. Blum, Inc. donated tape measures, calipers and pencils and Laguna Tools contributed t-shirts for the contestants. The volunteers helped develop the contest and served as contest coordinators, judges, scorers, saw monitors and assisted with other critical aspects of the contest execution. AWFS is an official 2014 SkillsUSA sponsor and AWFS staff coordinated the regional woodworking contests.
