Course Overview

This course is based upon an individually designed assignment using framing joints and/or solid carcase construction. The emphasis for this subject is traditional Joinery and all work is completed using traditional and counterpart commercial woodworking methods. A furniture project will be a significant part of the semester’s assessment. Technical writing, designing and graphics (including Autodesk Inventor) will be related to the student design brief. 

Students design and complete:
•    Working drawing
•    Cost and construct procedure for the project
•    Stain and apply clear finish if desired
•    Evaluation of final product and processes.

Orthographic drawing is covered and wood turning may be available.
Students will make at least one project using the processes and equipment available.
Design skills, issues and evaluation are key areas of the course which has a heavy practical focus and would provide a suitable foundation for future students of D2C.
Students are prepared for the further study of Woodwork at Stage 2.

Each student will be allocated $20 for consumables and materials at the commencement of the course. Costs in excess of $20 are to be met by the student.

Assessment

Assessment will be judged against the SACE performance standards in the following areas:
•    Several skills tasks
•    Materials investigation
•    Folio (As an element of the design task, students will develop and display a design folio, as evidence of the design processes.)
•    Major product
