Both the Starbucks and Edmonton Oilers logos are made from 1/4" MDF. These projects are a great way for students to develop their skills on the band and scroll saws, as well as sanders. Students can make any logo or symbol that they feel fits in their skill set.
These projects are not a mandatory part of Construction 10, but make excellent side/personal projects for students to work on if they have extra time in the shop.
