Reasons to Join an Honor Society

Colorado resident Jacob Scholl recently graduated from the University of Denver Strum College of Law. Before earning his law degree, Jacob Scholl was a member of the Golden Key International Honor Society.

Joining an honor society has several benefits outside of the prestige of belonging to a group of people who are serious about their school work. Above all, honor societies provide students-members an outlet to network. Honor societies also assist students with finding a means for supporting themselves in school. Organizations like Golden Key can provide educational scholarships and grants that will allow students to accomplish activities within the scope of academics.

Honor societies can also be a platform for internships and jobs. Through their partnerships with other organizations, members have the employment opportunity, which can boost their resumes. These clubs also ask members to take an active role that involves participation in activities and taking on leadership roles. This participation cannot only look good on a resume but it also can build valuable professional skills.

Modern Woodworking Tools

Jacob Scholl is a law student, bodybuilder, and painter with a degree in international sports administration and agency law from the Metropolitan State University of Denver. Outside of his studies, Jacob Scholl is a passionate and experienced woodworker with specific interests in handcrafting the scales of Justice as decorative chandeliers.

Woodworking is the pursuit of crafting items from wood. It can be further categorized into carpentry, woodcarving, woodturning, making furniture and joinery. The evolution of civilization shows the development of the skills involved with woodwork. Several traditional woodworking tools include saws, axes, bow drills, chisels, and knives. However, with the development of modern technology, the woodworking trade has changed.

The use of power tools, wood routers, and Computer Numeric Controlled (CNC) machines has revolutionized the industry. These machines carve exquisitely intricate patterns, craft products faster, and mass-fabricate with little waste. Besides, power tools speed up the handcrafting process with less energy compared to traditional carving tools.

For instance, the wood router carves complex and in-depth shapes on wood compared to traditional methods that require extensive experience and skill. However, art buyers and collectors value handcrafted woodworks, and they fetch higher prices.
