Topic tags/keywords: finishing joining sanding rustic fun happy cedar Did anyone else notice the massive number of step stool projects posted recently? Seems we have a class full of new students from Wahoo High School woods class that posted their first wood working project! I count 17 posts, hope I didn’t miss anyone. :-) I have no affiliation to any of these folks. CONGRATULATIONS to ALL! Hopefully the teacher of these fine children will see this post and let us know more?

Captain you are exactly right. It is great to see woodworking being taught. It is a small town in eastern Nebraska and sometime ago I wrote the school telling them I appreciated what they are doing. |

oh yes !! I was wondering why all those stools showed up as “1 post in 148 days”. . . -- I am a painter: that's what I do, I like to paint things. -- |

Many projects where posted several days ago on the 9th, and we had some spectacular projects that day. The nice stop stool projects didn’t get much attention, I am afraid. -- If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all, Doom, despair, agony on me… - Albert King - Born Under a Bad Sign released 1967 |

Thanks for posting the summary. I went thru a handful of them and then got sucked in by other projects posted that day. Congrats and welcome to the wonderful world of wood working. I still remember my first piece from freshman wood shop. My parents still have it actually. That 4/4 oak looks the same today as it did then. Probably the one piece of furniture my folks have managed to keep nice for 25 yrs. |

Seeing those posts every year gives me a little happiness to know there are young folks still being introduced to mechanical skills. I only wish more of them participated here beyond posting for a grade but it will plant a seed. -- Rick M, http://thewoodknack.blogspot.com/ |

Great selection of stools. I really like the difference in woods and colors, etc. Each one has an individual theme to them. Excellent job everyone. Mel -- MEL, Kansas |

Always makes me smile to see shop woodworking in an age where those who know all about education have flushed this valuable portion of what I remember down the drain at most school systems. I agree in a lot of top 3’s for these kids. Learning valuable life lessons while they make memories that will be their fondest from High School. -- Think safe, be safe |

I’ve noticed a couple of different “group” projects that have been posted like that. Always good to see shop teachers encouraging their students to put their work on here. As others said, maybe it will plant a seed that will flourish one day. I certainly wasn’t at all interested in woodworking when I was younger. I didn’t catch the bug until I was in my 30’s. Now, almost 25 years later, it is one of my favorite hobbies. -- Earl "I'm a pessamist - generally that increases the chance that things will turn out better than expected" |

I was on vacation a few years ago and made a special deter to visit Wahoo. I even drove by the high school. It’s a really nice little town they have there. |

I look forward to seeing next years projects. I was fortunate to have 3 years of Wood Shop in HS in 1979. Missed the final class because it conflicted with my Electronics Vocational Classes. Good Luck to Wahoo High School woods class. :) RDan |

Fatal flaw on many of them is the top plank edges extending further than the spread of the legs. If you’re careful, then no problem. If you’re not, then down you go hard. Still pretty cool and encouraging. -- Darrel |

I taught woodworking 40 yrs. before I retired and the students loved it. My school never cut it from the curriculum but drastically reduced it until 4 years ago. Now they have a robust program that the start in the fifth grade students using the cnc router to make chairs. The program hopes to place seniors in internships. The building trades program started their own housing addition on land donated. Thanks to harbor freight they got a 50,000grant this year. |
