This involved learning to use hand tools and basic machine tools, drills, lathes, etc. We learned brazing and tempering using a gas flame and blower. I suppose that today all of this would be considered far too dangerous until the age of 18. At 18 I was repairing scientific instruments for the Ministry of Defence using all those skills I had learned at school and in the apprentice school.
