Wood Shop Class at So. Pasadena Middle School
Steve Rogers took some of his Hand Tool collection 
to the middle school.  He talked about the history of the early trades and then let the students use the tools making the past come alive. 

 

 

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
Special thanks to Wood Shop Instructor Pete Rini for letting Steve sit in on his class, and to Bob Wilbur, Old Tool Dealer, for his help in acquiring some sweet Stanley #3 planes for the kids to use.
