Students Find Power Through Woodworking

I’ll admit that I’m a total sucker for these kind of articles.  I actually keep a search out on Google to find them.  Why?  They remind me of why I got interested in making things in the first place.  Listen to Cadillac Michigan High School freshman Curtis Baum:

“I was looking at magazines and found a clock that looked cool, but it broke.  I tried it again and it broke,” he said.  “So I decided to make my own design.  I like fire and flames and thought if I liked it I would build it.”

Not only did he build a flame clock, he entered it in the Michigan Industrial Technology Education Society regional show — and won second place.

So, Curtis, here’s a message from your (new) friends at Toolmonger: fire and flames rock, and so do you.
