The project is a group build of a single stylish deck chair that incorporates all the woodworking machinery and tools used in taking some rough sawn timber through to a finished product.This will allow time for everyone to gain experience with the machinery and tools used in the process along with many tips and tricks from a seasoned wood worker.

At the end the deck chair, as A+W.NZ chooses, could be auctioned to raise funds for A+W.NZ or as a prize for participation in a survey, etc
