Even before the rise of the Roman Empire artisans in wood were engaged in the framing and in the construction of ships. In these United States. in colonial times, the woodsman and the wood-worker were busy with the cutting down of trees, hewing them into timbers. and the shaping of shingles for the homes that had to be provided for the early settlers. As civilization developed and the homes were provided, work in wood became an art. Today. the woodworker must be very skilful both with the hand and machine tools to keep pace with the demands of modem living. The freshman at Gordon Tech is brought up-to-date with woodworking both theoretically and practically. He soon learns to select the materials for his proiect. to lay out and dimension the finest obiect. and to make as well as read blue prints. The numerous proiects in the woodshop give him the opportunity to acquire a dexterity with both the hand and machine tools. llvlul in lu'f'p1u'uliol1 for zruml lrunnung
