Team Building

This is a Team Building exercise for any company or business maximum of 10 adults.

It is a group exercise that helps people work together to achieve a common goal. The Groups of 4-8 people contribute to produce "An A4 Size Corporate Wooden Box" for each team member of the group.

Each member goes back to their job with a finished A4 size box.

"That box represents something my team helped me make…."

"A short term goal was achieved by everyone in the team."

Teams of 4 -8 people come to the School of Fine Woodwork for 1 Friday only (Book 2 weeks in advance), and the timber is cut up ready to be assembled and glued together. The team work together to clamp and produce 1 box each, helping each other while the glue sets in 1 hour, once the team has clamped all the boxes together, they have lunch.

Lunch is a Sausage Sizzle Barbie, run by Adam and those who have finished their box, with sausages, buns, onions, cheese, sauces, juice & fizzy drinks, tea, coffee & biscuits.

After lunch, the boxes have been clamped and the glue has set. They are ready for sanding by all individuals and to be cut open by Adam Crosland on the bench saw. No machines, except the disk sander are to be used by the team members, only power & hand tools. The box is completed by each member, and lightly coated with a satin finish. Every team member is rewarded for their hard work by taking their own Corporate Box back to work with them, to show the boss how well they have worked as a team.

The day only costs $100 per adult. Invoice is provided for tax purposes.
