Practical:18
i)
Learners will demonstrate their
ability to layout and cut a variety of chamfers and stops on timbers using only
hand tools. This will be done safely and
precisely to within a 1/16th tolerance of predetermined lengths and
proportions. 19
ii)
Learners will demonstrate their
ability to layout and cut a variety of chamfer and stops on timbers using
portable power tools. This will be done
safely and precisely to within a 1/16th tolerance of predetermined
lengths and proportions. Appropriate PPE will be used at all times (no
exceptions). Note that learners will only demonstrate the use of tools that
they have been properly trained to use. 20

Theory: 54
i)
Learners will explain why
anyone in their right mind would possibly want to ruin an otherwise perfectly
good timber by distressing it with power-hewing tools to look like it had been
chewed by a pack of angry beavers. 55
Practical:56
ii)
Learners will demonstrate one
safe and correct method for hand-planing 8ft long rough timbers smooth, to
within 1/16th tolerance of a finely scribed line running end to end,
and within 1/16th” of wind. 57
iii)
Learners will demonstrate one
safe and correct method for power-planing 8ft long rough timbers smooth, to
within 1/16th tolerance of a finely scribed line running end to end,
and within 1/16th” of wind. 58
iv)
In recognition of the fact that
some people (who may or may not be insane…but who are we to say) have appalling
taste, learners will demonstrate the practical application of a trained beaver
for the cutting of at least 2 ye-olde hewn surfaces on otherwise perfectly good
timbers, to within a 5 or 6” tolerance of a finely scribed line. Learners may
also blow-torch all surfaces and flog the timber ends with their belt if
desired. Correct PPE (blindfold and current tetanus shots) must be used at all
times. 59

Theory:114
i)
Given a multiple choice test of
30 recall/recognition type questions about timber finishes, the learner will
answer all questions within 30 minutes and score a minimum of 70%, or 21
correct answers. 115
Practical:116
ii)
Learners will safely and
correctly apply and end sealant to green logs or timbers to mitigate the
effects of shrinkage during drying. 117
iii)
Learners will safely and
correctly apply at least 3 different finishes to hardwood or softwood timbers
in a shop environment. Learners will demonstrate the correct use of appropriate
PPE at all times (no exceptions). This will include 1 each of the following: 118
a. Wax-based Sealer 119
b.
Natural Oil-based Finish 120
c. Timber Preservative 121
v)
Given 3 different selection
criterion for timber finishes (species of timber, area to be finished, building
environment, purpose of finish, aesthetic requirements, etc) learners will
identify an appropriate product and determine the following: 122
