Vices for Metals

My students need vices! 2 of our 4 vices literally fell to pieces this year. The remaining 2 are shared between 20+ students. This really slows us down in the shop.

My Students

Welcome to Mr. T's shop. My goal is to give my 7th and 8th grade students a knowledge and skill base that they can build on for the rest of their lives. With less than 60 days with each group of students, there is a lot to do in a very short time.

I've got some of the best students in the world.

We live in a rural Idaho community that still values "vocational" education. My students are interested in learning skills they can use in their daily lives- possibly even for making a living. We have about 600 students in a 7th and 8th grade only building. I get to see on average 100 of them each trimester.

My Project

Students will be mainly using these vices to make me deaf. Okay, not really. Vices are an essential tool in any shop- holding pieces to be cut, pressing bits together, hammering on the anvil, bending, the list could go on for miles. We mainly use these vices in my metals class- where I teach them how to punch holes in metal, set rivets, groove seams, and straighten projects that might have gotten a little off kilter.

How will this make a difference?

Well, It will let my students DOUBLE their productivity. Instead of 20 students in 2 lines waiting for a vise, I'll have 20 students in 4 lines waiting. They'll be a lot happier because they can actually get stuff done, and as a class they will have more time to go bigger with their projects!
