“If I Were A Carpenter” The title from a song done about the time these students were born still rings true. A good carpenter or furni¬ ture maker is always in demand, and as long as people like living in houses, al¬ ways will be in demand. Here students learned carpentry, from using a hand¬ saw, there are different types, you know, to drying nails. And this was the beginning. Lathes, drills and clamps were explored and, then, when the ba¬ sics were had, the students went on to whole-house construction! Everything from design to nailing up the last board. With Mr. Earl Byrd’s Wood Technol¬ ogies classes or “Doc” Washington’s Carpentry classes or Mrs. Juanita Gor¬ don’s Drafting classes, the students laid a solid foundation for being a car¬ penter. Wood is cheaper if you buy it square and make it round yourself as Warren Pearson learns using a lathe. The Birdhouse Project” of Mr. Byrd’s Wood Carl Bright puts in the last screw on a “T” hinge Technologies class: Mr. Earl Byrd, McArthur to hold up a door in Carpentry.
