Woodworking Technician

When you walk through the woodworking shop floor at St. Clair College, you'll find table saws and band saws with blades that spin at roughly 3,000 revolutions per minute.

They're efficient, precise, and powerful.

That's why students found a recent donation of antique wood and metal hand tools so intriguing, because it was a tactile lesson in the evolution of tools.

When Sadie Alejandria was a young girl, she always busy doing little woodworking projects with her dad.

"My dad taught me a lot of the basics, and then I was like, well, let's take the leap and do something that I was already interested in and expand my knowledge from hobby-level into a potential career," Alejandria said.
