If you or someone you know is blind or disabled the last thing you may think of tackling is woodworking. Think again—a woodshop for the blind and disabled can be a valuable resource for individuals with visual impairments or other disabilities, providing a space for woodworking and other creative endeavors. These workshops can offer adapted tools, techniques, and guidance to make woodworking accessible and enjoyable. Additionally, they can provide a sense of community and social interaction for those with disabilities. At the Utah Division of Services for the Blind and Visually Impaired, Woodshop instructor Ray Wright says there are so many benefits to woodworking. In this podcast Ray explains how adaptive tools, techniques, and training can make woodworking possible for individuals with visual impairments or other disabilities. It is a great way to empower blind or disabled people to see what the are capable of and lead to personal and other vocational opportunities.
