First things first, and in order to construct anything in shop or mechanical drawing one must have the proper tools. Samples of some of the utensils used are displayed here for view of those interested. Students of architectural drawing, once familar with the tools, were shown slides to demonstrate the correct use of them and the various steps one takes in constructing their plans. School Offered Business and “WHICH CAREER should I choose?” is a question every person asks himself. High schools try to prepare the youth for further education in a specific field or for a career upon graduation from high school. Training for one of the more common fields of the business world a student begins his study the day he enters school. Home economics, shop, mechanical and architectural drawing can be backgrounds for just a few of the opportunities of the business world. The school can offer these subjects, but it’s up to the student to take advantage of them. No one can make one learn, one must have the will. But learning does not end with the school, the world and the people in it offer a whole new education. With the proper use of tools and after careful planning, Jeff Mehan starts the constuction of his model home on a miniature scale in wood shop. 20
