Big thanks for Corbin for letting me swing by the high school and giving me a tour of his awesome woodshop. If you enjoyed the video, make sure to give it a like and subscribe if you're not already. Thanks!!
Mr. Bennetts and Mr. Schidt we’re the best shop teachers, loved woods and metals. Wish all schools had these programs. Saw some amazing projects over the years.
You would be amazed by the quality of the projects that have come out of the shop at BVHS - a pool table, a piano, kitchen cabinets, bedroom sets - it truly is an amazing program!
I want to Thank you for showing the high school shops. I graduated from Buena Vista. Never had shop class but wish I did. Mr. Bennett was an amazing shop teacher...amazing teacher period. I watched Corbin grow up. It is just nice to see this program still going strong with a Bennett! My uncles did shop, my son and daughter were in shop class as freshman. I still have their tool boxes and my sons sander(wood hand made) My son did make his grandma a cutting board....she still uses 9yrs later. Shop is the best class in High School....especially in Buena Vista. Thank you again ❤❤
So nice to see Corbin take on the legacy of his Dad, Doug. All of my children had Doug at one point or another. Both of my boys have projects that grace our house today. Corbin has some really big shoes to fill and seems to be doing so quite nicely!
Corbin’s dad Doug was my wood shop teacher and ultimately my drafting teacher and he was the reason I am doing what I’m doing for a living for the past 25 years. He was more of a mentor in wood working but the year I spent learning drafting from him changed my life. Will never forget Doug Bennetts
I would love very much to see more schools do this and also things like electrical, plumbing, machine work etc. It makes such a well rounded person and gives them among other things confidence in tackling problems.
Wow... I would LOVE to find a school like that here in Brazil! 😃 Fantastic video, dude! Thanks a lot for sharing!!! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
awesome video, taught Vocational High School. Graphic design and printing at Somerville High in Massachusetts. retired after 24 yrs. We had the freshman explore 13 tech areas and then choose their top 3 choices and depending on how they did grades in academics and vocational, discipline, attendance they are ranked by top points down and the top points get into their first choice depending on their ranking. worked out great made the kids work hard on both sides in order to get to the tech they want to spend the next 3 yrs in
That's awesome! I think it's so important to give the students a little taste of all the areas and let them decide which path they want to go down afterwards.
@@CasualBuilds it is, was in the printing trade for 20 yrs and got myself certified in 94 to teach, we couldnt get any good help in the trade so l decided to teach what l know about printing, how to work and what is expected of you at a job. We have a awesome carpentry shop at Somerville High, in fact all the shops were rated number 1 in the state
We had woodworking and metalwork as optional classes when I was in year 7. I didn’t like metal craft but fell in love with woodworking but ironically when I left school I became a panel beater and welder, including a trade teacher. I’m now semi retired and have gone back to wood where I have my own shop and make furniture. Pride of place in my shop is the very first thing I made in woodworking way back in year 7. (50+ years ago). It still has the mark the teacher gave me on the bottom 19.5 out of 20. Hahahaha.
I'm 53. Can I go to high school again? I will even take English class if I can use this shop. Pretty amazing the skills these high school kids are showing. real world skills
I gave it a like and I'm already subscribed. I love the video and the way he has his layout. I wonder if you could get him to do a safety teaching video... Teaching kids, he probably has a great safety program he teaches each year.

I love that in an era where everything is being cut from school programs this school is still teaching shop class. Bravo!
Corbin's dad was my woodshop teacher in the late '70's. Still doing woodworking today because of that man!
Mine too

Thanks for sharing! It was amazing to see the shop and learn about the class and see the pictures from the fairs as well!

That's awesome - wish I had a shop class like BV when I was in school. I'm still amazed at the projects the students have made.
@@CasualBuilds You would have loved Corbin's Dad, Doug! He was an amazing teacher, wrestling coach, and mentor to the kids!

Are you a teacher studying drawing? I think your descriptive skills must be very good.
That's awesome - wish I had the chance to meet him.
Seems like a fantastic program that school has! Thanks to you and Corbin for showing us. Very impressed with the kids work shown at the end.

Agreed!

Wow!! Thumbs up for those dedicated teachers and to you for documenting how important it is to teach trades!!!
Agreed!
I agree with you that you are doing this. I always feel that everyone is missing something.

Love it. I teach high school woodshop myself and its great to see another program.
Hello from Australia, I find this content extremely fascinating but entertaining so thanks for showing it buddy 👍
You've earned a subscriber. I look forward to diving into a few more videos you have in the channel. Thanks! ❤
Wow! What treasure these kids have!
Agreed!
I'm 53. Can I go to high school again? I will even take English class if I can use this shop. Pretty amazing the skills these high school kids are showing. real world skills
I know, right?!
Where are you now? I'm not very good at English either. I'm studying. I can go to school together if I can.
Really cool video - good work!
Thanks!

One of my 8th graders popped a sawstop cartridge just last week. First one this year. Well there’s $150 I don’t have to worry about spending.
Students at Red Rocks Community College have to start with hand tools too! Come visit our shop if you’re back in Colorado!!!
Love this !
A very good video, in which I probably heard clearly. Is the author a math teacher?
I see some of the things I built are still in the shop.
DAMN IT, THEY ALL BETTER THEN ME!!
I KNOW!! 🤣
i just realized this is my highschool
Haha!
