What Did You Make In Shop Class?
« on: April 10, 2008, 08:06:53 PM » |

I was in shop class every year. Industrial Arts, some say. In fact, my senior year, I had 4 hours of shop. May explain some things. I made all kinds of *feces*. But one thing that stands out: I did make a lamp.  Kinda funny. It's become cliche. I did though. Glued up a bunch of walnut, turned it on the lathe, drilled the hole......the whole nine yards. My step mom still has it.  |

I made a Def Leppard mirror. I took a wood board, cut the logo out with a jigsaw, lacquered it, and mounted a mirror on the back.  |

We didn't have 'shop' classes at my high school, I guess the next nearest thing we had was art class where I once made an ash tray out of clay...  |

Right at the end of my senior year, we got a brand new  I don't know what you call it....vertical metal mill? One of those deals that you put a block of aluminum on, and shape things with the bit by cranking the table back and forth. The first thing I made was a block with my name in it. Then I tried to get fancy and make an ash tray. Looked like *feces*. LOL I should have stuck with it. I could have made putters. |

I have a putter with my name on it. I use it as an ashtray.  "The circle is complete." |

I didn't take shop. They said it was for my own safety.

I took metal shop, wood shop, and drafting. I liked drafting the best.
Metal shop we made book holders.
Wood shop,,,some little hand tool that you use to pull out the oven rack when it's hot.

In 8th grade, I made a cabinet to place my TV on. Never did get the doors made for it. Freshman year in HS I worked on a shelf with a drawer in it and a rail along the top that needed a bunch of turnings supporting it. I spent my whole semester at the lathe. Never did finish that either.
After that, I had three years of drafting. I was planning on being an architect. I should have followed that path. It would have been more interesting than accounting.

Metal and wood shop here as well. And drafting. Lot's of drafting for engineering. I remember when AutoCAD made it's debut in college. It was all that and more. Susan was in 4-H. Made clothes and showed stuff at the State Fair. Her neighbor raised sheep.   |
