   so...I've been thinking....
   
   (1) we need a tools training cause there are a lot of people who want to
   learn more about building things
   (2) Len needs people to help build it
   (3) Building-Things Projects are awesome
   
   so...
   we should turn the cart building into a tools training or actual project!
   
   (and then we can get the extra wood out of the office, and we can take it to
   activities fairs and get more recruitments, and the world will be a happier
   place!)

great idea, but

* no one has yet been able to give me an outline of what AX wishes
  taught during tools training, or even a detailed list of goals

* i don't have the time in the near future to develope such an
  outline, and get the relevant officers to review it

* it be better for a clued in active to offer tools training, as well
  as passing on "how to do tools training" via a clue dump ands/or
  whatever

* i don't have the additional time to devote to really training while
  building the cart

  i just need one or two people to help cut the wood
  i have a short list of people, i want to work with on this
  and will ask wider if that doesn't work out

  if they want to stay around and help after that, 
  and realise that this is a project, not a training exercise
  fine

  i will offer some tips and training, but it won't be an adequete
  tools training
