Re: [Boomerang_Talk]

I carve for the kids and  just let them do the final sanding.  This works best for me but I am doing these with 4th and 5th graders.  I also don't have much time and want them to spend it on painting.

Here is a video on what I am doing now.  Not paint sticks but 2.5 mm 5 ply.


A web page on the paint stick booms:
 
I will be adding video of the kids working on the booms and then throwing.

Have fun with it.

Greg, I know what you mean about the safety issues. That's one of the factors that has me double thinking this. Thanks for your input. And thanks to Steven...
