[Design and Technology] Woodwork

[Richard Bazeley]

Hi Lieghc
I have been teaching woodwork for 35 years and I still find plenty of ways to keep it interesting. I have yet to find a good reason to change the name.
If you are looking for a better way to share ideas then I agree with you, there is need for a better forum. Any ideas?
Richard B.
