some of my kid's work
I thought I would share a few of the projects my kids did this semester.
The kid with the scroll saw work is a first year student, the rest are second year. One picture I will need to explain. It is a "piston motor." When the crank is turned the piston moves up and down through the cylinder head. I like the idea for this project because it call for some neat design work. The kids have to work out the dimensions from a photo of a similar engine. I know most people think HS kids are all jerks, but I have some pretty neat kids. To give you an idea of my class, we are an urban, public HS just outside of Los Angeles. We have about an 85% minority population and a high rate of poverty. We make do, although I do a great deal of begging for donations from local businesses, as well as some not so local. (Thank you, Lee Valley, Home Depot, Rockler, and others) Glen |

It's a time for testing the limits. The kids aren't jerks, but the testing can be a PIA for everyone who cares about them. -- Morris Dovey DeSoto Solar DeSoto, Iowa USA http://www.iedu.com/DeSoto/ |

Those kids have a lot to be proud of. -- If you're going to be dumb, you better be tough |

Great Work. These kids will bring this with them for life.
Not only will it help them with figuring out problems it will also give them a feeling of accomplishment. If many of those minorities were given the opportunity to this kind of class it would help pull them up out of the pot of drugs, gangs and crime...... jloomis "Glen" wrote in message m...

(Thank you, Lee Valley, Home Depot, Rockler, and others) Glen Takes me back ...oh ... 30 some years. My instructor that year had a profound influence on me and the things I learned from him (extending well beyond the woodworking) during that time were life lessons that have served me well. I'm sure your students will remember their time with you just as favorably. Congrats to all for a job well done! Lenny (a fan of bandsawn boxes) |
