Student reporters featured Coronado High School's woodworking class on the Oct. 8 Islander Insider, describing the shop, tools and student projects.

A student who previously studied sculpture in college said discovery of woodworking changed their career plans, and other students highlighted the lathe as a favorite tool. The class uses drill presses, sanders, a joiner planer, table saw, a laser cutter and a CNC machine. Students described projects such as building a table and a skateboard and said safety training is part of the experience.

The teacher, identified on the broadcast as Mr. H, was credited with providing instruction and a lively classroom environment. The segment did not announce course enrollment changes or budget items.
