What's this all about?

I am, among other things, a shop teacher. In addition to woodworking, welding and middle school woods, I also teach leadership, math, PE, freshman seminar (study skills and careers), I advise the Student Council coach Varsity Track & Field, the Electric Car Racing Team and serve as the Athletic Director.

Now that summer has arrived and I only have to think about a few school things every day, I'm taking time to return to the workshop where I used to toil away countless hours tinkering, and tinkering...and tinkering with who knows what.

This blog is intended to chronicle my (mis)adventures this summer and perhaps provide some poor fool with some techniques that they can bring into their own woodworking and/or house projects.

At current, I'm 28 years old and haven't even begun to tackle the number of projects that I'd like, but I do what I can with the time that I have.

Enjoy what you see here and laugh heartily at my expense. Perhaps pick up on something here and there, perhaps appreciate something that you thought you wouldn't.

Sincerely,

The Shop Teacher
