shop class...

with the talk lately of shop cl*** I thought I'd share what the kids in my shop are doing...

in these pics the kids are maching some bushings for a trike resto project on the lathe, drafting, hammering out dents with a shop made T-dolly on a shop made go cart steering column support, smoothing welds on the column support and removing paint from the trike. They seem to be having fun and enjly doing this stuff. I try my best every day to make shop cl*** like the shop cl***es "of old" where the trades are taught and valued. Thanks for looking...

 

Keep up the great work Dan

 

Dan, Thanks for sharing. There needs to be more teachers like you. Keep up the great work.

 

very cool dan..

my cl***es are full of knuckleheads..

 

I wish that other school districts would see the example your setting and keep their shop cl***es. It's sad to see them disappearing because the school district thinks that the kinds aren’t learning any valuable information. I’m a future shop teacher, and I hope to keep to old traditions as much as I can. Keep us posted.

 

It looks nice. I teach middle school tech-ed so I dont have that kind of projects to work with.

Keep up the good work Dan!
