I had a great high school teacher for woodworking who was instrumental in my teaching career choice in Industrial Arts/Technology Education. 

These are two projects I made in my junior and senior years .

very nice.

 

useful drawer storage under a bed is a great use of "dead" space, and eliminates "dust bunnies"

Those are incredible!

 

I can relate to your experience 

The drawer under the bed is actually another bed ... trundle bed. 

Works out really well when space is limited. 

Fantastic. You had a great teacher Phillip and obviously he had an excellent student who took craftsmanship seriously.

I was very fortunate to have a father who got me started in woodworking and a great high school teacher who pushed me to do the best!

When I taught, I had the opportunity to be a judge at the AWFSfair Freshwood Student Furniture Design Competition.  2007 if I remember correctly.  It was for both high school and college students. What I remember most was how talented the high school students were, and how highly they spoke of their shop teachers.  The woodworking was always top notch and beautiful.  Many were of course award winners. 

Thanks for posting those great projects @prockey. Beautiful work.
