Shop, Period 5, Week 6
"Does everybody know what time it is?"
Oh, my. That was simply worng. Heidi the Tool Time announcer and tool-getter looked different. Taller, stockier, beardier, flannelier.
Tim bounded into the shop with the Tool Time intro playing. "All right, today we're going to learn about framing," he said, holding up a picture frame. "No, not this type of framing, this type," he said, whirling the frame off-stageset. Something broke. Tim walked the other way.
The workstations were set up with a collection of dimensional lumber cut to length, hammers, nails, tape measures, and most anything else one would need to put together a wall. "Now, for this project, you want to make sure the wood is sixteen inches on center to make a good solid wall that's even and easy to locate the studs, because you always want to find easy studs," he said with a chuckle and a laugh and a--he's hearing crickets again. And Al-In-A-Flannel-Bikini was holding up the Tool Time mailing address off in the corner.
"Today's project? Hang four walls, basic framing. For extra credit, frame in a door and a few windows." He showed how to frame in a door. Safely. And up to (most) codes.
"That's it for today! Have fun."
