Hi everyone,
What a bewildering number of forums. It is good to see an active forum that is not overseas...although I am in a manner of speaking ‘overseas’ to many of you.
I am a Design and Technology Teacher (of many years) finding myself teaching primary through to adults in Metals/ Engineering and Wood. The place is Dover...check out the Animoto I just made at:
http://animoto.com/play/OL3Y90sAKWEyMYqUhUgsHg (http://animoto.com/play/OL3Y90sAKWEyMYqUhUgsHg)
Stunningly beautiful!
Also a lot of my ‘stuff ‘online at:

And
http://www.screencast.com/users/JD (http://www.screencast.com/users/JD)
I also have a Moodle site but will leave that for another day.
Hope to be of help and find help
Cheers
JD
PS. Sorry for the short intro. Just lost a ruddy long letter I placed into the ‘insert box’....one click and it’s gone! ...........hope that’s not a bad omen!

Hi John,
Welcome to the best woodworking forum around from a little further up the "Channel".

Hope to see some of your work as well as the kids.

Thanks guys,
Keeping the workshop ticking over doesn't leave a lot of time for my building. I enjoy sharing the creative process and technical challenges with my students. see one of our latest projects.

Anyway. I am working on the planning of a project for next year. I placed a post into the 'timber forum'
