Jim: I came by my interest in woodworking and construction naturally. From Jr. High through graduate school, I worked on nearly all aspects of home building including masonry, electrical, plumbing, rough and finish carpentry, drywall, roofing, painting and cabinet building. While I did not pursue the Trades as a profession, I have continued on as a hobbyist building everything from toys to furniture to a sailboat. For several years I have been blessed to build homes for some great families while serving in the Habitat for Humanity Mission at Mt Pisgah. I feel that it can be extremely useful for a student to learn basic building skills in a safe and proper environment. These are skills that they will find very useful throughout their life in addition to the satisfaction that comes from building something with their own hands.
