Contest Coordinator: Natalie Salt
2026 Scope of Contest: Competitors will be required to create a cut list from plans provided during Thursday night’s orientation meeting. (Official SkillsUSA shirts will not be required on Thursday night.) Contestants should be able to demonstrate knowledge, skill, and proficiency in
the use of hand and power tools, including miter saws, table saws (including the use of a dado stack), biscuit joiners, jigsaws, routers, and pocket hole jigs. Contestants will be judged on the accuracy of the completed project and the cut list, as well as on safety during the competition.
