Spent the morning at the Akron Builds Trade Expo with my advanced woodworking class. Kids got to make a lot of great connections with local businesses. #akroncantonbuilds #trades

One last post of some projects that were finished up. Each year I am amazed at how well some projects turn out. Hard work pays off. Have a great summer everyone.

Why make something ordinary when you can make something that stretches your comfort level, increases your knowledge and in the end have something that’s absolutely awesome.

More projects being finished up.

Dylan put on his final coat of Odies oil and it turned out awesome. Great job this semester.

A HUGE thank you to @shonchristy and the Stow Schools Foundation! Our new @FestoolUSA sander and extractor is already a huge hit in the wood shop.

People tell me all the time that they are “surprised that schools still have that” when I say I teach woodworking. My response is always, “well some schools are realizing they never should have gotten rid of it”.

Great fun for the opportunity to attend the Akron/Canton Builds conference with some of our kids. Great opportunity for the kids to see first hand the jobs available to them in the future. #akroncantonbuilds

@RHSCADET I’m trying to do a better job posting this year. Got away from me during the Covid years.

First day making cuts in Woods I and Advanced woods classes. The beginning of some good projects that I’ll be sharing of the weeks.

[Garrett Mattes @StowTechEd]

The beginnings of the advanced woodworking projects. Tons of different types of lumber this year. I’ll try to keep pics coming.

[Garrett Mattes @StowTechEd]

How did you end your school year? In the wood shop we grilled out and rocked out! Have a great summer everyone!

[Garrett Mattes @StowTechEd]

@DanBoarman I had your voice in the back of my head saying I should post more.

Peyton wanted to display his grandfathers fishing lures in a special way. He found a live edge board he liked and used deep pour epoxy to solidify the lures in this table top.
