GOALS FOR SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION

 

Practical: Add your comment on this item18

 

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.  Add your comment on this item19

 

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. Add your comment on this item20

GOALS FOR SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION

 

Theory: Add your comment on this item54

 

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. Add your comment on this item55

 

 

Practical: Add your comment on this item56

 

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.  Add your comment on this item57

 

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. Add your comment on this item58

 

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. Add your comment on this item59
