Teamwork makes the dream work! Or something like that. Here’s another project that worked with local contractor .matt on to build a faux beam out of solid walnut for a fireplace mantle. Turned out great!

How much does a wood shop smell like wood when a wood shop cuts real wood?! You just can’t smell this virtually. Good to be back, Vikes!

Covid stinks but so does your hockey gear! We have a few stands left over for sale at a special “Social Distance Deal” for $30 each because we really do need the space in the shop!
Send us a private message or email [email protected] if you’re interested.
The last part of our unit on interior finishes is usually a big hit, but this year it felt particularly good for some reason...

Our construction classes took on a big project this year to improve our storage space. Mr. Crawford was really hoping to be able to share photos of the finished product but due to the current circumstances that won’t happen this year.
Regardless, our students should be proud of the work they did so far. Our shelving unit now has rolling doors fit with a French cleat tool storage system. All built in-house!
When it’s all said and done, just think of how much fun shop cleanup will be everyday!
Big shoutout to Canadian Trailer Company for donating plywood offcuts which we put to good use making the tool holders. It’s great to have community partners like this.
