I found these tools and several others at a yard sale for $10.00, and gave them to the design lab at my school. Tomorrow, I’m doing a project using them with my sixth grade that involves drilling. So, here’s my improvised work bench in the Design Lab — three c-clamps at $2.00 apiece, and two drills, and a set of drill bits that I got for $10.00, too.
