shop teacher

Guides lathe work

A shop teacher instructs students in practical skills like woodworking, metalworking, or automotive repair—subjects traditionally called "shop" or industrial arts.

The stereotype involves a no-nonsense demeanor and sometimes a missing finger from a run-in with power tools: Our shop teacher made us watch safety videos for a week before touching the table saw.
