I have looked into buying the Sawstop also. A local university has one and I heard they set off when you use pine. The pine having either moisture or sap conducting enough to set it off. Has anyone experienced anything like this?

Hello I read the topic. If anyone would send me curriculum ideas, it would be appreciated.

Again its a shame that Manual Arts or Industrial Arts programs are slowly being phased out throughout the country. Not being biased, but what other program can provide enough education to provide a career to support your family? In our state, MO, there are only two universities that offer a similar degree in Industrial Technology. No degrees, no teachers , no programs. I have been a shop teacher for a a couple of years now. I enjoy it and try to help out other teachers from surrounding schools, when I can. If anyone has a model curriculum for a shop program let me know. I looked at the Arizona's standards, impressive. But I teach at a high school that the budget would even come close to seeing this happen. Thanks...

First you need to check out the states requirements, each state is different. http://www.ctc.ca.gov/ Call them and ask questions.
Your military career counts as college hours.
There are other ways into teaching.
First vocational programs have different guidelines in my state. (Some states no degree needed only life experience) Second MO offers alternative certification. Third get a degree in some other field and transfer into woodworking. (MO you need to pass a PRAXIS for Industrial Technology) Fourth you might have to check into teaching Agriculture Science. Fifth get certified in another state and transfer in by taking a test.
Again all states have their own guidelines. Call someone, start with the local college and work your way up.
Hope this helps...

In Missouri there are only two universities that offer a Industrial Technology degree. Fewer colleges to get the degree will produce fewer teachers. I just finished my Alternative Certification process. I don't think many schools are worried about losing the traditional shop program. It also hurts with budget issues and law suits hindering.
