OBJECTIVE: Students will complete their semester projects.
ANNOUNCEMENT: Students were reminded that when projects are glued up and left on a table clamped to dry, that they must find a time to come in, unclamp, and put their project away. From now on, students should add on the note they leave with their project with their name and the time it was clamped, an indication of when they will come in to put it away. Since so few students have been doing this, Mr. K is forced to start taking a point off the final project score each time a student fails to deal with their project and just leaves it out. Comments will be placed in Canvas to keep track of this. If a student cannot come back in to put their project away, they may talk with Mr. K and he will be happy to put it away for you, but the student needs to take responsibility and talk to Mr. K.
ANNOUNCEMENT: The CV talent show on 4/8 will have a static display of the student-created projects display during the intermission. Mr. K encourages students to enter their completed work for judging. If interested, please get your submission to Ms. Stone's room by 4/4.

Woods 2 students will be given a number of assignments to complete over the next several weeks to expand their skills that might be applied to their woodworking projects. Some of the topics have been previously discussed in class (some review will likely be necessary). Other topics will be new.
By the end of the 3rd Quarter, Woods 2 students must:
CHISEL SHARPENING PROFICIENCY: Bring Mr. K a chisel requiring sharpening (he must agree sharpening is necessary), and use the Tormek system to sharpen the chisel either by honing an existing secondary bevel, or grinding a new secondary bevel (and primary bevel if needed).
HAND PLANE SHARPENING PROFICIENCY: Bring Mr. K a plane blade requiring sharpening (he must agree sharpening is necessary), and use the Tormek system to sharpen the plane blade either by honing an existing secondary bevel, or grinding a new secondary bevel (and primary bevel if needed).
1. - The steps and procedures Mr. K discussed earlier this year are summarized here: Steps for Sharpening Hand Plane Blades and Chisels.
  - The Tormek jig to use when sharpening hand planes and chisels: SE-77 Square Edge Jig Instructions.
PLANE SHAVINGS: Start with a disassembled plane (checked by Mr. K), reassemble it and tune it to produce shavings thin enough to allow light to pass through them.
1. - How to Set Up Veritas Small Bevel-Up Bench Planes (video).
  - CVHS Veritas Plane Safety Page (use the instruction manuals to guide you with proper plane set-up.)
HAND-MADE DOVETAIL JOINT: Using a chisel and hand saw, make a simple dove tailed joint having at least two tails and three pins. It is strongly recommended that you watching this video (despite its length) and guiding your work by it. You DO NOT need to join two pieces of different thicknesses.
1. - How to Cut a Dovetail Joint by Hand -- by Matt Estlea.
BOX JOINT USING THE SHAPER ORIGIN: Use a Shaper Origin and Shaper Workstation to make a good fitting box joint having at least seven pins at the joint.
1. - Using Shaper Origin and Shaper Workspace to Make Box Joints
Students may work on these things in any order they wish. Ideally, students will spread themselves out across the projects to reduce equipment bottlenecks.

OBJECTIVE: Students will identify projects to work on for the next semester.
Items that must be finished for this semester:
1. A finished mortise & tenon mallet (if you didn't finish it last semester). This will be worth 100 points (for Woods 2 only).
2. All smaller lab exercises and assigned homework.
3. 300 points worth of additional projects of your choice, however EACH PROJECT MUST INCORPORATE THE USE OF TECHNIQUES OR TOOLS THAT ARE NEW TO YOU. OBTAIN VERBAL APPROVAL BEFORE STARTING WORK ON ANY POP.
Students were asked to look at the Woodworking Project Examples Website (you must be logged into your school Google Account to access this website) to identify 300 points of projects to work on for this next semester. While this website has categorized projects by point value, the final determination of the points to be awarded for any given project will come by agreement between the teacher and student. Generally, all 100-point projects can be made more complex, while aspects of larger projects on this website can be simplified.
For the first couple of weeks of this semester, students will be introduced to additional topics, tools, and techniques that might be helpful in completing their selected projects with a focus on sharpening and hand tools.
For their projects, students must first get their idea approved by the instructor, and then write a complete POP using this POP template. The best place to start is with a drawing. YES -- YOU MUST MAKE YOUR OWN DRAWING EVEN IF YOU ARE WORKING OFF OF ONE YOU FOUND ELSEWHERE.

SHOP CLEAN-UP ASSIGNMENTS HAVE BEEN CHANGED AND GO INTO EFFECT TODAY. PLEASE FIND AND UNDERSTAND YOUR NEW CLEAN-UP ASSIGNMENT . LINKS ARE AT THE TOP OF THIS CALENDAR PAGE.
End of Semester Timeline / Contract
By the end of the semester (per the dates indicated on the timeline/contract template linked below), each Woods 3 and 4 students must complete what they have already agreed to for the semester. Each Woods 2 student must have completed:

DAILY JOURNAL: As you know, following a due date, you only have 14 days to get things turned in to earn any points. Even though turning things in after these 14 days will not yield you points (and will therefore not mathematically impact your current grade in the class), what is the value in still completing (in its entirety) and turning in all your missing work before the end of the semester? To correctly answer this question, you will need to consult the class syllabus (linked to the first day of this calendar way back in September).
FOLLOWING THIS JOURNAL ENTRY, STUDENTS ARE TO TURN IN THEIR JOURNALS TO CANVAS (the one document with all entries). If you want credit, you must submit today in class -- this is measuring your daily participation. Late submittals will not be accepted.

OBJECTIVE: Students will make items with the wood lathes.
ANNOUNCEMENT: Located at the top of this webpage is a link to a lathe queue. This document will identify the days earmarked for you on one of the school's lathes. If you know in advance that you will be gone on one of your days and do not notify the teacher, you may need to come in outside of class to make up lost lathe time.
DAILY JOURNAL: Woods 2 Students were to answer these questions pertaining to the wood lathes discussed yesterday:
1. All adjustments but one must be made with the lathe at a complete stop. What is the exception?
2. How far should the tool rest be maintained from the material being worked? As the piece is turned, it becomes smaller. So what must be done on a regular basis to insure the proper spacing of the tool rest?
3. What speed should large diameter wood, large bowls, and rough or out-of-round materials be turned at? (The answer is not a specific number, but a general description.)
4. The tool rest should be adjusted so that the tool engages the wood ABOVE the center of the work. Why is this important?
5. Tools are used to remove larger amounts of material. Sanding can be done on the lathe as well. What must be done before you can sand your work on the lathe? What must be removed?
6. When removing wood from the inside of an object (like a bowl), one should always work on which side of the turning wood -- where it is moving up or coming down? Why?
7. When spindle turning something that will have varying diameters, describe the proper progression of work (which areas should be worked on first) to minimize the risk of the wood breaking during turning.
8. Why must the tool be resting on the tool rest BEFORE engaging the tool into the turning wood?

WOODS 2 STUDENTS:
1. - Your first priority for today is to complete your Illustrator file for your angled box engraving.
  - We are going to begin using the lathes. Since we only have four lathes (hopefully that will be increased to six shortly), we need to get people on them soon so everyone has an opportunity on them. So that people are ready when a lathe is available, all students are asked, as soon as they are done with their box Illustrator file, to complete through Step #6 on this Turned Bowl POP so they are ready to work on the lathes when their time comes.
  - Students will be expected to complete their angled box, a bowl, and a Mortise and Tenon Mallet (see the assignments to the right) by the end of the semester.
  - Notes on Calculating Board Feet (you may need to refer to this to complete your mallet POP).
  - Students wishing to do something other than a mallet must first get their idea approved by the instructor, and then write a complete POP using this POP template.
After journal completion, students worked on making their bowl blanks, and then returned to work on their angled boxes.
