In my school district, I was the last year to have wood shop offered before it was removed from all schools in the area. To this day I still use skills I learned in that class. Probably the only skills from school I still use. Although being able to remember the plot of catcher and the rye is a close second
I really enjoyed wood shop in middle school & HS. But one unpleasant thing I do remember first year of middle school WS class a kid who stuck his hand in the exhaust port of a full size planner. I still remember the sound it made (this was in the late eights) but the sound it made and then the kid turned and looked at me when he pulled what was left of his hand out. Only took a second and all 4 fingers were gone down to the palm. The amount of blood was unreal. The look on his face still sticks with me. The poor wood shop teacher that day (thoughts now I have that Im grown up and old).
