John,

You got off to a very good start and we’re glad you kept it up. It’s fun looking at your accomplishments.

When I was in high school — back in the olden days — girls didn’t take shop class. I’m not certain if we weren’t allowed or just not encouraged. I wish I had gotten an earlier start and maybe I would have taken a different career path.

High schoolers do amazing projects. My nephew made a windsor chair as a high school project. After about 35 years of tinkering around with wood, I’ve never attempted a chair!
