    Handshouse Studio (https://www.handshouse.org/) in Norwell, MA takes on ambitious and inspirational projects, and here's a chance to participate in one the weekend of August 25-28 in Norwell. 

    Help create a 1/10 scale white oak model of the intricate wooden roof structure that once stood above Notre-Dame de Paris. This is all part of a much larger effort to reconstruct the cathedral that burned in 2019.

    For details about the model project:
