Excerpt from Thompson's Island Beacon, Vol. 55: May, 1951 I have worked in the woodworking shop for seven months, and I like this work very much. I have learned to use many tools, and to repair chairs, tables, benches and other furniture. I am at present making a lamp. This involves work on the lathe. I hope that the lamp will be a beautiful piece of woodwork. I have a sloyd class each day also, and have completed twelve of the models in the course.
