May 18th – Q’s screwdriver – I said earlier that my son was working on a screwdriver for his shop class at high school.  He finally finished it and I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out.  Q was VERY happy!  He sanded it to 8000 grit, so it was as smooth as glass.  The end is a piece of blue Corion tile that  was polished to the point there are no tool marks in it.   He took it to school to turn it in and the other kids in the class were pretty excited.  Made him feel pretty good about what he had created.  When he showed it to his teacher, his teacher said, “I’ll have to take a picture of it and then grade it later.”  No “hey, this is pretty cool looking”.  No “wow, you really must have spent some time to make this.”  No “I’ve never liked you and I intend to hit you with my car someday.”  Nothing…  Hope he gets the ‘A’ he deserves, but I don’t have high hopes.
