Wood plant

Mobile workshop

Sure, food trucks are all the rage these days. Gone are the days of the roach coaches. Todays wagons offer gourmet cuisine on wheels. In San Francisco, many are announcing their daily whereabouts on Twitter minutes before people start flocking to them.

So why not a mobile wood shop? Stephen Willner (AKA, "Willie") has been a shop teacher since 1985. Now he has converted a bus and put his classroom on wheels: Willies Woodshop.

Operating out of the Sacramento area, he offers woodworking classes for kids ages 5-14. They are one-hour sessions in which students get to learn some basics and actually produce a project. Hes even available for birthday parties. What a great idea!
