I still have a folding stool that I built in the 8th grade, probably ‘82, as sturdy and functional as it always was. I still use it!
Growing up we had a very nice end table. It looked like all of the other nice furniture in the house. It wasn’t until I learned much later that my dad had built it in shop class! (Probably around 1934 or so).
My brother has it now.
It’s like Amish woodwork. They’re fantastic and worth the cost.
It lasts forever.
