How to wood shop .I failed High school wood shop. Dreams come true!

[@MAGAMAN]

Losing point in shop class? 1) Cutting with a power tool while holding the board with your hand. 2) Not wearing eye protection 3) Chiseling without securing the board. Not completely sure on the 3rd one, but 1 and 2 almost got me kicked out of shop class. I managed to do both at one time. The teacher hit the emergency stop on the whole shop and yelled at me and the other guy (I was holding what he was drilling) and embarrassed the hell out of me. A lesson I will never forget.

[@homemend]

😂😂😂 Safety was never one of my strong suits But I do have all of my fingers.. All of those are valid points LOL. I hear you on the embarrassment part. That is sometimes the best way to learn. I also wanted to throw in free hand drawing a straight line instead of using a speed square. Thank you my friend

[@thisisudax]

I need this course in my life . Good work sir

[@homemend]

Absolutely fur ! More to come :-)

[@ACoustaDC]

I wish no one I respected told me that Industrial arts were for dummies. My brother and uncles did, so I avoided it. Worse mistake of my life. My best friend made a coffee table in 8th grade that was in his parents' house until he died. It was stunning and I could not believe how good it looked.

[@homemend]

That is awesome AC. We can’t forget about the old school. I wasn’t in the class long enough to complete a project. Thanks so much my friend

[@angiewilson8936]

Thanks for the class dustin..

[@homemend]

Thank you Angie thanks for not cutting 😂

[@heartwormskillcats8357]

[@DIYVariety]

As always a great job. Thanks and God bless

[@homemend]

Thank you HR. I appreciate the comment

[@TRG972]

Thankful I took Wood shop, metal shop, mechanical drawing and small engine repair during high school. I made a shaker end table in wood shop back in the late 80's.. It's been used as a nightstand all these years and serves as a great reminder.

[@homemend]

So awesome TRG. Thank you so much for sharing

[@homemend]

Thank you bats. Appreciate you friend

[@michaelrussell499]

Another good one. We actually built a house 1/16 scale. Helped me working construction

[@homemend]

Wow Michael that is awesome and sounds like an amazing video. But what I have the patience for it? LOL thank you so much for sharing my friend

[@nimajnebrm]

Great informative video!

[@homemend]

Thank you nj! Appreciate the comment!

[@MAGAMAN]

Shop class was the highlight of my time in school. It's a crime that they are removing the one thing that really taught people how to be productive. 90% of what they teach in school these days is useless, but shop taught you skills that could help you fix your house, cars and build your own furniture. It's almost like they don't want kids to be self sufficient anymore.

[@homemend]

It seems like that? LOL I think we know what’s going on here. Thanks for being there maga.

[@TapelessDrywallFinishing]

👍👍👍

[@homemend]

Thank you liagle!

[@petethehandyman9185]

Encouragement accepted! Good video sir

[@homemend]

Thank you Pete!! . It’s funny how things work out isn’t it? Appreciating you sir.

[@lohrtom]

Took shop in Jr High. We called our teacher Uncle Benny. No idea why.

[@homemend]

Shop teachers always had something weird happening LOL we thought nothing of it at the time. Thanks for sharing

[@CarpenterDiem]

12 13/16ths * 5 = 64 1/16 from 65 = 1/4in dust waste and 11/16ths in solid waste and five equal working stock. Although, to get less solid waste from the board you could do 12 15/16ths in. I don't like cutting such small bits off but sometimes its necessary.....

[@homemend]

Excellent work my friend. Thank you for sharing

[@jasonloftis6318]

Do a sewing video

[@homemend]

Are you calling me out? LOL

[@milesharlan1]

Thank You Dustin..I took junior high wood shop.. I made a very simple magazine holder. It is in my living room today. Keep up the good work!!

[@homemend]

That is so awesome miles. I didn’t get to stay in Georgia long enough to complete any projects but it was fun while it lasted. Thanks for commenting my friend

[@doctornamelisted4280]

how about rescreening a second level screen porch

[@homemend]

Hey doctor. That one’s a tough one my friend it’s the same as doing one on the first floor but taller. That’s when you bringing the guys who don’t mind getting on ladders

[@swiss6253]

Great presentation and looking healthy. My school didn't have anything like a shop class or home ec, how nice that wood've been.

[@homemend]

But you excelled in puns? You are awesome Swiss thanks for commenting

[@nelsoncordova6140]

Love your videos. There's always something to learn watching them!

[@homemend]

Thank you Nelson I am appreciating you sir

[@LyndseyMacPherson]

Hah! This was so much fun! Could probably be a regular segment. Btw, impressive portrait of Bob Marley! (I see you closing in on 100K - good work!)

[@homemend]

Thank you Lyndsey and thank you Lyndsey!Been such a wild ride and fun. Thanks for sharing :-).

[@kerryd25]

I took Home Ec but I loved shop class! I really loved this video Dustin. Your artwork is amazing!! : )

[@homemend]

Thank you Kerry! Art nerd failed shop? 😂 life’s funny like that.

[@QuippersUnited]

Just solve the problem in parts: 65/5=13. (1/4)/5=1/20. 13 - (1/20) = 12 and 19/20ths

[@homemend]

Quippers!! You rock my friend 🏆 That sounds right? LOL I’m guessing as far as woodworking goes and tape measures, you can’t really do it just use a longer piece and throw away the excess LOL. Thank you so much for sharing this!!

[@RenoScruggs]

Hey Dustin great video I enjoyed that. I do woodworking my favorite things to make are model trucks. Tractor and trailer and 10 wheelers and outdoor furniture. My favorite tools are the band saw and scroll saw. Great video!

[@homemend]

Hey Steven!!! thank you so much. I really missed out on industrial arts class. Never really got to make a project. You are a true craftsman my friend.

[@camale6352]

How are you I did wood shop I was ok good but I wasn't good at measurements I tried I made a basketball NBA court it' was frustrating alot because I couldn't understand it I got a c minus ,

[@homemend]

We shouldn’t be being graded anyway lol. Thanks for commenting

[@camale6352]

I wasn't good with wood shop my NBA letters were too big and messy I made a basketball court with a ball and string ,I did my best even I failed at understanding the concept of measurement and text book and cutting I was in 10th grade lol

[@homemend]

For some reason they just made it difficult. I’m glad we made it! Thanks for commenting

[@philipruhland2624]

13 inches to make 5 equal pieces. Solved the math problem without a calculator too then.

[@homemend]

Hey Philip I think you’re forgetting the 16th of an inch that is lost in sawdust with every cut. Come on man we can do this!

[@philipruhland2624]

@@homemend yes. But a 16 th of an inch unless your building or making cabinets. 16th of inch isn't going to be an issue then.

[@Today_with_Tonya]

I remember those High School days. XD I never took shop class as it was a "males" class and not for Females. Meh, we got to eat cookies and pancakes though in Home Education. So, what are the mess ups in this video? No eye protection, No stable work surface/cutting surface for the wood? What am I missing?

[@homemend]

Hey tonya!! I never really used any of those in the field LOL I would also include freehand drawing a line instead of using a speed square LOL. You pretty much nailed it 😂

[@Today_with_Tonya]

@@homemend lol Right! See I'm more of a Grocery Haul and cook with me type of person. lol Thanks for sharing Dusty.

Thank you Jerry!

[@Convexhull210]

We need to get rid of the Department of Education.

[@homemend]

I second that. Thanks aqua

[@whopua]

So we live in an age where we use the phrase "collective consciousness" now? That tells me a lot.

[@homemend]

Hey fyre. I am totally with you. It was super sad to read what’s happening. I thought it was worth a mention. We are a dying breed

[@adamedwards2435]

How did you fail woodshop? Did you not take it serious or did you had an awful teacher? 🤔

[@homemend]

Hey Adam. That’s a great question. Thanks so much for commenting
