Building a Classroom for Woodworking -January-April 2007

The students under the direction of instructor Eddie Ross were able to take part in a new experience in woodworking this year. They built a new classroom within the current woodworking shop area. Starting with measurements, drawings, and planning they were exposed to many aspects of building. From setting metal wall frames, observing wiring, dry wall application, sanding, priming and painting--they did it all. All future woodworking students will benefit from their labor and skills when using the new classroom. Great job!
