Getting Started
Potential instructors get tied up in knots over what the first day is going to be like. How you teach is up to you. Your technique will probably be a reflection of your personality. Each group I work with differently. With some, I explain the whole project, have them build models and then start cutting wood. With others, I put a pencil and tape measure in their hands, start calling out measurements and they have the boat laid out before they have the chance to decide that they can’t build a boat. How you run your first session really depends on the group and the goals you have set. Don’t think too much, it’s only a boat.
