Where to find these plaques...? Oak?

[Johnny Best]

I bet more than half the high schools in United States did away with Shop classes.

Ahh, yes, 7th grade woodshop. Our woodshop teacher taught us a lot and he seemed very knowledgeable. In fact, he made really nice name plaques for each and every teacher. They were rather large, but then we found out why. I remember some kids running in the shower in gym class and the gym teacher, dick gernert an ex pro-baseball player hit a homerun on each of their a$$es and with in minute or two, you could see his name across their butts..... in reverse.All the teachers had them.... and used them. Can't do that sh!t anymore.

All I saw there was "running in shower...d!ck...butts" WTH?

My first grade teacher had a paddle with her name engraved on it that was always propped on the chalkboard. I don't recall any kids ever being spanked, maybe it was for the teachers.

Or for her husband.

You can't?

Nobody beats Arkansas (at beating kids in school)

The scientifically awful practice of corporal punishment traumatizes a new generation.

I thought the title was the cliff notes.
Paddlin's = OK in AR

 

[gnubler]

I'm guessing Cliff notes are even too much nowadays. Involves actual reading.

 

[Gino]

Yeah, so don't get involved.............................

Yes Matty, we have a woods class at the high school. I have several end tables, cutting boards and random wood things laying around from my boys to prove it LOL

I got my BF's retired brother to do it. He has a shop set up in his basement and it will only take him a few minutes.

One of the woodworkers I watch on Youtube did a whole video begging DIY'ers to stop making cutting boards. Market saturation. I feel bad when I see these $200 boards at the farmers markets...not economically viable.

 

[Gino]

Those cutting boards........ you hafta be careful what kinda wood you make them out of. Certain woods contain tannins not so good for human consumption and when you're cutting on those things, how many little pieces to you think goes into every bite ??

Custom oak plaque. Black aluminum back plate. Gold Satin Sublimated Plate.

Gino during the pandemic, just to be on the safe side.

Gino does not wear any pants when he puts that circle on, but you knew that already.

 

[Stacey K]

Ugh cutting boards...we had at least 5 of them from school - one + from each kid. They put a bunch of pieces together, glue them and cut them (or whatever). Half of them fell apart, the other have little slivers of wood coming off like Gino said. A couple held up well. I avoid wood cutting boards. Mostly use plastic...is that any better? Probably not LOL

 

[Gino]

Personally, I don't really cook, but my wife has been for like 60 some years. She's always used a wooden board. We have 3 at the moment. She uses a main board for almost everything and has another for cutting I think certain meats, so she can clean it real good. The third one is one I made about 30 years ago and has seen better days, but we might get it out, if a lotta cutting is being done. As for plastic, I'd rather have wood fiber going in me, than plastic stuff.
