Well! So much was crammed into day 1. Before classes even began, I had an adventure: I had to stop on the road to the school for a flock of turkeys! They were in no hurry at all and were a little like deer in that they crossed over and back and wanted to follow her, no him, no her. We are out there!
There are 12 students in my class and two main instructors, with some ancillary instructors and staff. We learned shop safety, first aid basics (have student lie down, call 911, apply moderate pressure). Then we talked about wood and sharpened our chisels which took a couple hours. I am not kidding - and at best we got three sharpened! Then we took turns taking one short board of wood and making it square and true and good and pretty. That's it - 7 hours over in a puff.
I loved it all and can't wait to go back tomorrow when we'll learn how to make a bench and get started.
