A. CUSTOMWOODWORKING FUNDAMENTALS
OVERALL EXPECTATIONS
By the end of this course, students will:
A1. describe the features and applications of materials and processes used in custom woodworking;
A2. demonstrate an understanding and safe use of tools, equipment, and techniques for custom
woodworking;
A3. use correct terminology to describe woodworking materials, tools, equipment, processes, and related concepts.
SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS
A1. Materials and Processes
By the end of this course, students will:
A1.1 describe the factors that affect the quality and classification of wood (e.g., harvesting method, cutting, drying, flaws);
A1.2 describe the factors that should be consid- ered when selecting and purchasing wood products (e.g., cost, type of project, quality, flaws);
A1.3 describe various moulding profiles and their applications (e.g., baseboard, casing, crown moulding);
A1.4 describe the advantages and drawbacks of manufactured materials used in custom wood- working (e.g., plywood, particle board, oriented- strand board, plastics, steel, adhesives);
A1.5 compare the properties (e.g., strength, stability, appearance) of natural and manufactured mate- rials that are used for the same function (e.g., natural wood versus plywood or particleboard, lin- seed oil versus polyurethane);
A1.6 demonstrate an understanding of structural and non-structural components of woodwork- ing projects (e.g., structural: rails, stiles, corner braces; non-structural: trim, finishes, hardware, lazy Susan);
A1.7 identify and describe various processes for fabricating components of a woodworking proj- ect (e.g., jointing, laminating, turning, milling);
A1.8 demonstrate a thorough understanding of various materials and processes used to finish
woodworking projects (e.g., materials: sand- paper, stains, oils, varnishes; processes: sanding, detailing, brushing, spraying);
A1.9 describe procedures for mass-producing a product (e.g., use of patterns, jigs, automated machinery, and/or modular construction), and describe the advantages and disadvantages of mass production as opposed to custom woodworking (e.g., quality, cost per unit).
A2. Tools,Equipment,andTechniques
By the end of this course, students will:
A2.1 demonstrate proficiency in using, maintaining, adjusting, and storing construction tools and equipment safely (e.g., chisels, planes, measuring instruments, table saws, drills, lathes);
A2.2 demonstrate proficiency with commonly used measuring, layout, and assembly methods (e.g., layout and measuring: determining and marking circumference, diameter, radius, angles, and rounded corners; assembly: fasteners, glues, milled joints);
A2.3 demonstrate proficiency in the selection and safe application of appropriate clamps, fasteners, and adhesives;
A2.4 demonstrate proficiency in safely and accu- rately constructing and fitting commonly used joints (e.g., butt, half lap, mortise and tenon, dove- tail, dowel, mitre, rabbet, tongue and groove).
