Back in the 70's when I was in high school woodshop, every girl I was 'sweet on' and had an interest in, got a foot stool custom made for them by me. My friends knew this and if they saw a real cutie walking across campus carrying a mahogany stool, they knew I was really interested, a pine stool, not so much. If there was great interest, they got a sheet metal custom made sugar scoop. Lol.... the heart wants what the heart wants.
I graduated from high school in ‘70. Unfortunately, girls weren’t allowed to take wood shop or auto shop, or any class like that. I so resented being relegated to cooking and sewing classes. However, knowing how to sew and cook helps me in my woodworking so I’m glad I took the classes but I just wish I would have had a choice. I did take art classes and was voted most artistic in my class. Nevertheless, I still think about being denied those woodworking classes. Misogyny sucks. ✌🏽🙏🏽
@@apembertonfowler The only boys that could take home economics were those on the football team because it was a GPA booster. My last year of woodworking shop we had the first girl ever allowed. That was 1973. I taught and retired from teaching high school culinary arts. My problem there was that they let anybody take it so I had 200 students a day, five periods of 40 each. That's way way too many students for one instructor but I loved every minute of it and worked in a great district that was 100% focused on giving their kids a good education.
Love your videos. I don’t use hardwood for shop projects or if I’m painting the item. I happen to like pine so I use it most of the time. Btw, using the term “deepest, darkest part of Africa” is offensive to me as a black woman. I think you’re a really nice man, a great teacher, so I believe you wouldn’t be offensive purposely. You teach me about woodworking every day so let me teach you something today. I enjoy your videos and I look forward to each one. Thanks again. ✌🏽🙏🏽
I did branch out last Christmas season from pine to making my eldest an oak box with purple heartwood splines and her initials burnt on top.
I've used a mix of woods since I started making things.
Shoot do a real challenge use gum.

Shut up, you’re responsible for your own feelings, nobody else gives a shit about them. Tired of y’all thinking the world revolves around you.
Nobody cares.
you are a dingleberry.
He is accurate on so many levels with that statement
