 Posted: Thu Dec 07, 2006 9:58 am Post subject: New stool for my bus |
 |
|
so this semester in my wood fab class i made a new stool for the bus. Its good for when I'm working on the engine or just need to rest my feet during a show! I think it will go good with my bus!
its just a little dirty from the shop but it will clean up nice!

Maybe you could sell them. And then if prospective customers want to know what the wood is like before placing an order, you could mail out "stool samples".
Be sure to put "stool sample enclosed" on the package. |

Nice wood work. Seriously, what kind of university are you attending? Sounds like fun, I had to read, study and take exams. I guess I went to the wrong school.

I go to Fitchburg State, I'm a Technology Education major so in real world thats like a shop teacher. I thought that the stool would look good in the bus and I tried to be creative with it. No one else in my class had a cool stool like mine. They need to think outside the box! I think outside my bus!

If that starts to happen frequently, you need to go to the doctor, and I'd hate to require a doctor checking my stool... |

Send him a sample of your red stool and you guys can compare browns. |

| Just make sure you decline if someone offers to push in your stool at the dinner table. |

I hate my eletcronic systems and circuits class. its the worse class i have. Transformers are aweful and i'll never use that infromation in my life again. I can design a perfect op-amp and series circuit but forget transformers. Thoe things are impossible to figure out.
