This Week’s Cover
- Life being the curious thing it is, a few of these lads, when they grow up, will work all day at being carpenters, and many of the others will work all day at other tasks while yearning to get home to their hobby benches and work all evening being carpenters. Mr. Dohanos pulled a switch on this; after high school he toiled two years as a carpenter’s apprentice—then obeyed a yen to paint paintings and never swatted another nail, thank heaven. Now then, young industrial-arts students, how often has Instructor Sawyer told you to lay a plane down on its side, not stand it up, like the one near that house being built strictly for the birds? It clobbers the blade, lads. Bear in mind what the old saying doesn’t say: a workman is as bad as his tools.
