Hey everyone!
I thought you might like to see a few of the projects my hubbies students have recently completed.
Dan teaches woodworking I and II plus Building Construction and Entrepreneurship.
I am very impressed by this beautiful table! This young man is a junior and this is his Woods II project.
The students also design their own projects. They rough sketch, then a final sketch....my hubby proofs of course and helps them with any mistakes. Then they create a working drawing to scale, plus a steps to procedure and finally a bill of materials that they will need.
This beautiful table cost $230.00 to make and it was built using Red Oak.
The total cost of the hutch was $280.00 and it is made out of Cherry.
Anyhoo, I am very proud of my talented hubby!
He is the most amazing teacher and he is also incredibly patient!
And we are finally getting spring here in Wisconsin.
Boy it's been a long time coming.
The snow has finally melted and we are supposed to hit 70 degrees today and 81 tomorrow with a chance of nasty storms.
Next week we are back in the 50's and 60's. however I am not complaining as that is about where we should be for this time of year.
Take Care and have a wonderful weekend too!
Cindy
I am linking this to Favorite Things Saturday @ Bargain Hunting and Chatting with Laurie.

Wow Cindy, these projects are just wonderful. Your hubby is so talented and his students really benefit from all his training. Unreal. I am so happy you are finally getting some better weather. We almost hit 100 last week, sure not ready for that yet. Raining today and in the 60's, but that's ok. Hope you have a super weekend. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteCindy these guys are really so talented....because you r hubby is so talented.. these fornitures are not so expensive..if I was in USA i would buy them!!! Hugs and have a wonderful spring weekend....Flavia
ReplyDeleteOH, Cindy! I guess you are proud of him. These projects are amazing! I can see why that boy's mama sent you husband a thank-you note. I'm in awe. And the table it neat, too.
ReplyDeleteThink how wonderful it is that he has given these children and so many others a lasting skill that they can carry throughout their lives. And these two pieces aren't just crafts, they are art! I want that cabinet. Oh, it is so neat! Can't you see lots of cute dishes in there??? Is his mother a dish nut like we are??? You need to get her to tablescpe with us! ;-)
Cindy, I'm so glad you shared this with us. I loved seeing this and feel so inspired to try my own hand at something new. WOW!
XO,
Sheila :-)
Hi Cindy,
ReplyDeleteWow! What wonderful projects! It must be fun being their teacher when you have kids with that kind of talent.
Enjoy the warmer weather,
Leanne
That is some of the finest woodwork I have seen. They are truly heirloom pieces. There is nothing more rewarding than creating something with your hands. Especillay things that beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI can only dream of 80 degree weather. Can you believe a cold front has come through Northern California. It was 34 degrees this morning. I shouldn't complain though because very soon it is going to be 100 plus degrees here and what is worse that it can stay that way for 2 weeks at a time. Our heat is can be unbearable.
Have a great weekend.
Wow! Beautiful pieces for sure.
ReplyDeleteLove the hutch and I can certainly see why his mother was so thrilled with it. Good work!

Such beautiful pieces of furniture. I love hand made furniture. Good to see young adults still interested in making them.
ReplyDeleteThey did a wonderful job on their projects. Glad Spring is finally coming your way. They are predicting bad storms here also. :(
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
What talent those boys have!! My husband made many things in wood shop in high school, he is still a wood worker(him and our boys build wood waterski's out in his shop). He enjoyed his shop teachers and they were a great influence on him. You have good reason to be proud of your husband.
ReplyDeleteThese are really great pieces. My son got many awards in high school for this kind of work, because of a good teacher like your husband. He even built his new home, doing all the work by himself. Amazing what a good teacher can inspire a student to do! :D
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing projects! I bet that MOM was happy! You should be so proud of your hubster. This is a real skill that he is teaching. It is so wonderful to see that kids are still interested in real arts and crafts. Thanks for sharing. have a great weekend! :)

Those pieces are amazing! Tell your husband good work in teaching these young people an amazing talent :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome. If one of my kids made something like that - I'd be ECSTATIC! Great job! And Dan! You are the man!
ReplyDeleteI'm laughing. It was 34 here this morning....
:) HUGS! Karen
Well I'm REALLY impressed Cindy. Believe it or not I took wood-work in high school. Thought it was a blast. I also had an EXCELLENT teacher. He never raised his voice, and he made it fun. I think I made a stool ; )
ReplyDeleteSo how much would they sell for in a furniture store? NOT from China!!
Happy PS and Happy Weekend.
You know I'm always in my P.J.'s don't you???
Love you
Love me

These are beautiful pieces, Cindy...the boys are talented and Dan is a great teacher. Do they get to keep their project?
ReplyDeleteWe are 54 so far today and I hear we are supposed to hit 70 tomorrow. Now if I could get Al to do some work outside!!
XO,
Jane
What a great job these two students did!! Your husband is teaching them something they can carry with them through life! What a wonderful thing!

ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my blog and introducing yourself to me. Your blog is beautiful! Very impressive.
ReplyDeleteI have been keeping an eye on your state lately; with all that is going on!
...Shop, huh? I thought they made things like key hangers and thread holders in shop--not furniture! Those pieces are beautiful.
OMG, those are amazing!!! I think I need to send my son back to high school so he can take a woodworking class and learn to make furniture!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow...talented kids who obviously have a great teacher! I'm sure their mothers were really thrilled with these furniture pieces. It is so nice that one of them wrote a thank you!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are finally getting some spring weather. Ours is bouncing all around. We had the air on yesterday and today is cool. Typical for the Midwest!

ReplyDeleteGolly grump, it's warmer up there than it is here. We did do 89 Saturday but they have some snow in the forecast for the weekend! What's up with that???
