    My first guitar build, I had a blast building it. I think it turned out pretty good, and most definitely my new favorite guitar. Built as part of a competition, more info in the comments.

    My first entirely aesthetic woodworking project. I didn’t want a picture on that wall and wanted something 3D instead. Wife seems to like it, took about 4,7 second before there were souvenirs in it.

    Wood-shop in (my small town) in 1979-80 for a girl was frowned upon. I’m glad it’s not anymore, and I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who helped change that.

    I hope this sappiness is OK to post here.

    When I was in Jr. High school I took wood shop because my dad was an incredible wood worker and put the wood-working bug in my head. He made beautiful furniture and built on additions to every house we ever lived in, etc. so he was very thrilled that I wanted a part of it. He encouraged me all the way.

    My wood-shop teacher- think ubiquitously buzz cut, misogynist throw back from the 50's era. He hated that they allowed me and one other girl in his class. He was incredibly harsh and sarcastic, the sheer disdain in his voice was loud and clear, and he never gave the other girl and I suggestions for how to improve our technique that was so "bad". I still have two of my pieces- a candle holder and a very nice, hinged box that hangs on the wall. And you know what, they look good.

    Because of that teacher, I did not continue next semester- I joined metal shop instead and was the only girl in the class. Contrasting with my wood-shop teacher, my metal-shop teacher was thrilled to have a girl in his class and taught me well. At the time I didn't like it as well as wood shop and ironically despite the help I sucked at it- LOL. Well he said I was good but I knew I was probably just being encouraged, and I appreciated it. And I was absolutely petrified of the arc welder so one semester was enough. Looking back it's like the scene in that scary movie where the boiler is down in the dark scary basement, breathing, waiting to kill someone.

    Anyhow- there is such a warm place in my heart when I see girls taking wood shop in school now like it's normal. Because it is normal. I wish I had more guts back then to stand up to that jerk teacher, but well, as a 12 year old, shy wallflower girl that was not happening.

    Thanks to everyone who helped make that normal.
