Personal shop

Here is discussion of a man who worked on vehicles in his home garage. I have never known of anybody who had a tractor block bored. I did learn to use an engine boring bar long in the past that clamped onto the block. https://driving.ca/auto-news/news/in-the-garage-the-student-becomes-the-teacher-and-drag-racer

Hurricane proofing

This building had no space to work on cars, tractors, or anything. But it did survive a hurricane. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/14/us/hurricane-michael-florida-mexico-beach-house.html?emc=edit_nn_20181021&nl=morning-briefing&nlid=8429404420181021&te=1

tractor restoration skills

Wow! You can go to college and major in John Deere! How cool is that? Jealousy inducing if you favor red tractors. http://catalog.owens.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=11&poid=3074&returnto=6157 When I took automotive courses, one was about planning and setting up a repair business. I do not see the equivalent in this curriculum. I think this is more a curriculum for people of my grandchildren's age who want a career working as a dealership mechanic. I still think autobody training might be a better choice for tractor restorers.
