Adam makes a wooden pencil box

Old-school cool! - by Adam Dovile
  • 04 Sep 2020

You know the drill: the kids are back at school, so you replace their old pencil cases with new ones only to find them grubby and ink-stained by the end of term. So this week, Adam’s sharing a much hardier alternative. He’s showing you how to make an old-fashioned wooden pencil box, which will be with your kids well past their university years.
