==History Of College== thumb|College Woodwork C.1930 College Woodwork began in the early 1900s as a woodworking class for students attending Lornedale Academy. For both philosophical and economic reasons, work was viewed as an essential component of education. By 1920, the woodworking class had grown into a business producing small household items such as trellises, playpens, potty chairs, ladders and ironing boards. Furniture was a natural extension of the product line, and by the early 1960s, production focused on simple furniture.

The business closed in 2016.<ref>{{cite web |title=College Woodwork Closing |url=https://www.kingsway.college/kingsway-news/college-woodwork-closing |publisher=Kingway College |access-date=3 December 2022}}</ref>
