Shop, Period 5 Week 4

[aughaughaugh.livejournal.com]

"Greetings!" Tim said as he bounded into the shop. "Today we're going to focus on building loft beds. There are several different styles, from bunk beds to loft beds that raise the sleeping area so you can put a couch or desk underneath to double lofts where you and the roommie are both at the same height, and they all involve being higher up, so be careful. Make sure you measure twice and cut once...and make sure that you can sit upright in the bed without smacking your head on the ceiling or the bunk above you," he said, rubbing his head in memory.

"Bunk beds and lofts are great to free up floor space for other things, like a widescreen TV and console games." Or to build a fort.

He went through the several types of lofts, how to use the table saw and the drill, how to measure and follow the plans, and quickly assembled a loft bed as a demonstration. Granted, it was pre-cut and pre-drilled, and when Tim forgot to tighten the bolts after he finished, it returned to being pre-assembled.

Luke sketched out schematics and wondered how the teacher would manage to injury himself today.

Peter took notes and figured he could turn the space under the bunk into a prison to keep his roommate in.
