Nice projects! My university has a furniture making department. I really want to take the courses. My high school did sumo robots, which was really cool, but now I wish that they had had something like what your school has. Based on your other projects, that computer is going to look good!

I know we have an radial arm saw blade

OMG these are so ****ing dangerous! the lumber mils stoped using them,as too many people got their limbs chopped off,when the blades grab into the grains,my pops even knows a guy who lost an arm...and...


...and...my public HS USES one of them!


we get nice freshly sharped German planer knifes periodically

Thanks all


Today,I'm going to take a bunch of pictures of my current case work.


My case pictures are going to for be a not so well made work log.

This is true as I could not get a camera in the classroom too take pictures, as the camera was being used so much..........

Oh i get 45 mins each day, to work on each project i made.

---------------------------------------

I'm also going to take pictures of my wood shop class.

Yet im going to need you to wear pieces of paper towel in your pants,as they might get sticky...due to how nice the wood shop is,and all the material I have to work with.
