This is a six week course that introduces students to basic woodworking skills. Safe work habits will be stressed and maintained at all times. We will be working on several small projects with the main focus being on hand tools. Students will be exposed to all stages of project building from layout, shaping, sanding and finishing. Students in the grade 8 rotation will learn the skills to draw and match three dimensional drawings to two dimensional ones.
 
 
WOODWORK 9          (elective)
 
The Woodwork 9 course focuses on:
  • student safety throughout the course as students learn to use both hand and power tools in a safe and proper manner.
  • planning, drawing, constructing and finishing stages.
  • how to interpret project plans and be able to select the proper resources.
  • how their project's design is impacted by social, ethical, and sustainability considerations.
  • students will be able to enhance their projects using either a CNC router or Laser engraving machine.
 
Students are required to provide their own safety goggles/eye protection, hearing protection and tape measure.
 
 
WOODWORK 10          (elective)  4 credits
 
The Woodwork 10 course focuses on:
  • student safety throughout the course as students learn to use both hand a power tools in a safe and proper manner.
  • planning, drawing, constructing and finishing stages.
  • how to interpret project plans and be able to select the proper resources.
  • how their projects design is impacted by social, ethical and sustainability considerations.
  • students will be able to enhance their projects using either a CNC router or laser engraving machine.
 
Students who have successfully completed Woodwork 9 will be bale to work on more advanced projects than students taking this course for the first time.
Students are required to provide their own safety goggles/eye protection, hearing protection and tape measure.
 
 
WOODWORK 11  Prerequisite: Woodworking 10 preferred
 

In the Carpentry and Joinery 11 course, students are exposed to:

  • the WHIMIS regulations and are trained to use the power equipment found in the woodshop.
  •  a large focus on safety and accident prevention during the first few weeks and these procedures are to be used throughout the course. 
  • interpreting technical drawings or producing design sketches.
  • projects using both hand and machine tools that use a number of different wood joints.
  • the WoodLINKS curriculum, which includes current industry trends as well as exposing them to a vast amount of information and resources on wood processing.
  • the CNC router as a part of one of their projects.
  • students will be able to enhance their projects using either a CNC router or Laser engraving machine.
 
 
WOODWORK 12           (elective)  4 credits

 

In the Carpentry and Joinery 12 course students:

  • are exposed to the WHIMIS regulations and are trained to use all the power equipment found in the woodshop.
