I found this site that explains in detail the skills needed to perform many difficult tasks using the wood lathe. The videos are excellent and definately show you the step by step processess to perfoem theses taks yourself. After viewing most of them I am excited to get on a lathe and start turning.
The Michigan based website offers a wide array of outlook options for students. The particular serch that I perfrormed shows the average of what construction managers make annually. I can show this to my students that are likely going into the field out of high shool and also use it to show students how important it is to further educate themselved so that there goals of a career can be achieved.
