Carpenters, cabinetmakers, floorlayers and more are showing off their skills and introducing a new generation to their important trades.
PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania --"This business, the tradespersons' world, the carpenters, is about competition," said Robert Landy."We want to be the best and we want to teach our students to strive to be the best."
"Today is our 55th annual open house/contest where our top carpenter students, floorlaying students, mill cabinet students, and millwrights all compete against each other to win cash prizes, awards, trophies, plaques, and just overall recognition," said Landy. "I think girls might be, like, timid to do, you know, a trade where it's mostly male dominated," she said. "But if you put your mind to it, it's possible."
