Outstanding!!!

This just goes to show how different things are across Illinois. When I was in high school I was allowed to bring in my bow (complete with broadhead-tipped arrows) for a speach on bowhunting. That same school now suspends students for bringing fingernail clippers to class.

If you were to try that project up here in the Chicago suburbs I guarantee there'd be about fifty hysterical parents complaining about "making weapons in school". Thank God there's still some common sense left in your part of the state.

Great post. We just got a new principal this year so I am going to see what he thinks about my kids building bows in class next semester, although ours will have to be self bows. The last principal was okay with it but I have yet to ask the new fella. Thanks for sharing with us and paving the way for the next generation.

I love your build a long, as well as what you're doing with the kids. I needed a shop teacher like you.
Thanks,
Brad

Good on ya! And those in your administration that allow this!! Please pass that on.

You should take this "on the road". Want a job in OK? Better yet, got an opening in your school? I could work for you!

I'm not sure we could get this in our schools, but we could get it into our Scouting program. Would you have more detail by chance? Material list, step-by-step "how to" checklist, etc., more safety considerations for the kids, jig info., etc.

Please let your student know we're really enjoying this and can't wait to see the finished product.
Also please congratulate your principal and school admin - my hat's off to them for following common sense and supporting you.

Excellent. Following with interest. Have never seen the process for a laminated bow. Interesting stuff and glad to see that you are bringing kids along.

Great Job!! Our shop class is also working on building bows following the Fred Bear and Bear Archery display I did back in Sept/Oct for our H.S Library. I saw UPS delivering the boxes from Bingham a couple of weeks ago. I'm going to check today in the library and see if the books I donated are seeing any action. It is good to be from a "common sense" based area! CKruse

Outstanding! It's good to see this in public schools, any schools for that matter. A big THANK YOU to you and the school administration for doing this.
