MrsN's Workshop

Hey, welcome to LJ. I too taught middle school tech and woodworking. I found that clocks for the older kids were a great project. We did simple pen holders and cut out letters with a band and jig saw to make signs and practice layout and measuring. The older kids always had a blast with the CO-2 cars also. with the 7th graders I did a gumball machine, simple measuring, most could be done on a drill press and jig saw, then nailed together with hand brad nails. Not too bad when you get to teach your hobby as a career, isn’t it?

I have been teaching 10 years, how about you?

That is a nice scroll saw that you have in your end of the shop. In addition to a lathe this is another tool that is on my wish list. as I have always wanted to learn how to use one of these.

You have a nice space in which to work. Thanks for the post. I enjoyed visiting your shop.

You have a niice start. I built my first project on the dining room table in a 1 BR appartment.
