Granddad bluff and the probably unnamed surrounding bluffs will always have a special place in my heart.

Same with Octoberfest. Cheers

Ah understandable, sadly. Do you guys get a lot of resources from local companies? We had loads of shops around us that we donate scrap knock outs, old end mills, half working welders, etc. I know one of the teachers was always asking for any donations from companies, with good success doing so.

It’s so good to hear stories like this. I hate seeing shop programs dwindle, only to push bachelor degrees. I started CNC as a junior, went to trade school for tool and die, got a bachelors, currently a manufacturing engineer. I’d never be where i am without the shop program and teachers that gave their all for the kids

I’ll have to take a look. Good luck man! Changing lives

Hey awesome work man, it is great to hear stories like this. I went to a high school with a strong shop program that was slowly losing funding. Student/teacher projects were providing a good chunk of funding for tooling/programs etc.

Do you guys currently make any products to sell? There’s tons of great ideas that can lead to actual income to grow such a program. Keep it up, I’ll never forget my shop teachers.
