Shop Class Week 1 9/4: Intro
Tuesday, September 4th, 2007 09:09 amThe Danger Shop is set up like the Tool Time set, with a row of audience seats, a desk of handouts, separate workstations, and Tim off-stage wrestling with the remote.
Finally, he got it to work. Sort of. Heidi never had purple hair.
"Does everybody know what time it is?" she called out, holding up a "TOOL TIME" cue card for everyone as Tim ran out.
"Hey, everybody. I'm Tim "The Toolman" Taylor and I will be your shop teacher this semester. I'm on loan from Binford to develop a classroom series in addition to my award winning Tool Time show." He clapped his hands.
"Now, as you'll see by the handouts, we'll be covering some basic home improvement ideas to give you an overview of what to do. Depending on how things work, we may change the schedule and add or delete projects. The midterm is to fix three projects and the final is to have a complete house addition with working bathroom."
"From you guys, I'll need your cooperation and attention. And a teacher's assistant who canperform first aid as I lay bleeding and/or twitching assist me."
"Here is some of the equipment we'll be working with," he said, briefly going over hand tools like hammers and screwdrivers, power hand tools like drills and jigsaws, and the heavy duty stuff like table saws and planers. And then moving on to first aid.
"If you want extra credit there are side projects. If you can come up with an idea for the class, something for your dorm room, we may squeeze it in. But for now, that's all I have until next week."
