Shop Class, Wednesday

The classroom was set up exactly like it had been on Monday, and Sam was once again at the front of the room. She took a sip of coffee and waved to the class.

"Morning, guys. Today is implementation of your sketches for the conifer habitats, as you know. If you weren't here Monday, I need a description of your pine or cypress tree and a sketch of your habitat before I'll let you near the power tools."

She gestured to the table saw. "As for the power tools, please remember to wear your safety goggles and watch where you put your limbs, especially when the blades are running. Any horseplay or fighting around the tools, and I'll assign you detention. This school's liability insurance is high enough already."

John grabs a plastic tub type thing and drills several small holes into the bottom of it for water draining purposes.

He loads the tub with soil, packing it tight and then puts another larger, plastic tub underneat the existing plastic tub to watch water and excess soil. Using good ole duct tape, he attaches a small desk lamp to the side to imitate sun.
