Sandwich Stacking Toy/Coaster Set

This is an awesome toy that my third graders make in the wood shop at school. It is a wonderful activity for them to become adept working with hand tools such as coping saws, hand saws, hand drills, and workbench grips. while producing a fun stacking toy that also doubles as a set of coasters!
