You won't find 3D printers, electronics or robotics in a 1953 wood shop class, but you WILL find common sense and the proper tools to get the job done. (Of course, it took much more elbow grease without battery or electrically-powered tools to get the job done, but we digress!) You may be surprised that so many of the tools and adhesives used in woodworking classes in the '50s are still in use today. One example: Polyvinyl Acetate (PVA) glue, which can offer much more strength to wood when bonding along the grain than say, a mechanical fastener.
Even if you don't personally recall your woodworking class, you know a lot that can go wrong when drilling, including tearout, wandering drill bits and holes that don't line up. You'll be tested on whether you know the sage advice you would be given in class. You'll also be queried on how to choose the correct grit of sandpaper for your project as well as safety procedures you should always adhere to when working with wood. So put on your thinking cap and head back to class. See if you can earn an A+ in a 1953 wood shop class.
