Boy that brings back a lot of memories, I spent 1,800 hrs. certifying in all machines pertaining to furniture building, that included the glue machine for laminating table and desk tops. I have always loved wood working and the smell and feel of wood and have had it for a hobby for many years. That and my training in fabrication, welding and machine shops equipment has been a great aid building scale RC airplanes.
Your school is a wonderful thing to teach others the art of wood working, they will have a whole new perspective about themselves and the beautiful things you can make from wood.
