DAILY JOURNAL:  For the rest of the semester there will be no journal entry required.  Instead, students will be checking in with the teacher at the beginning of each period to discuss their end-of-the-semester timeline (see below).

By the end of the semester each student must have completed 300 points of projects.

Complete this Timeline Template (you will be given a score for doing this):

1. Select MAKE A COPY from the FILE menu in order to edit it.

2. Fill in the 2nd column only.  When finished, have Mr. K check and approve it BEFORE printing it.

3. Print it and turn it into the INBOX.  Mr. K will keep these.  

TIMELINES WILL RECEIVE A GRADE AT THE END OF THE SEMESTER BASED UPON THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF TEACHER INITIALS EVERY DAY.

When the hardcopy of the Timeline/Contract has been turned in to Mr. K, students then went to the shop to continue to work on their projects.

ANNOUNCEMENT:  Effective today, students are no longer to help themselves to wood except that within the scrap bins.  You must come see Mr. K to get more wood.  Too much wood is being wasted.  If you are given wood and mess up on cuts . . . you need to figure out how to change your project to accommodate for your mistake(s).  This hopefully will force you to be more careful and thoughtful as you approach projects.  Don't be afraid of making mistakes -- they always occur.  However, the solution to a mistake should not simply be to go and get more wood.

OBJECTIVE:  Students will identify projects to work on for the next semester and continue with project work.

DAILY JOURNAL:  Answer these questions:

1. Where should off-cuts from wood you are using go if they are so long that they will stick out of the off-cut cubbies under the counter under the windows by more than 6"?

2. What species of wood have cubbies under the counter under the windows in the shop?

3. Where should fir off cuts shorter than 24" go?

ANNOUNCEMENTS regarding what to do with offcuts (wood that you don't use for your project from the board you cut for your material.

1. Any offcut that will stick out beyond six inches from the off-cut cubbies should be returned to the pile or rack from which the board was originally obtained.

2. Douglas fir offcuts longer than 24" should be returned to the pile from which the board was originally obtained.  Offcuts 24" or shorter can be placed in the dimensioned lumber scrap cart.

3. Wood that is too small to be useful, is damaged, or small pieces in which the grain travels in the short dimension of the piece (pieces that are way too short to joint and plane) should be thrown away -- NOT PLACED IN OFFCUT STORAGE.  The exception to this rule is black walnut and any exotic species -- we will keep all of these!

Students worked on project ideas and/or projects for the period.

OBJECTIVE:  Students will identify projects to work on for the next semester.

Items that must be finished for this semester:

1. All smaller lab exercises and assigned homework.

2. 300 points worth of 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.

   • No team projects.

   • Student projects must be unique -- students are not to make the same thing as another student.

3. Significant outreach with a project, extending beyond the classroom.  A submittal to the talent show would have qualified.  Making an item for a friend, family member, or a family friend does not qualify.  Mr. K likely will have some ideas for you.

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 generate project ideas for this next semester.   While this website categorizes projects by point value, the teacher and student will work together to determine the number of points to be awarded.  Generally, all 100-point projects can be made more complex, while aspects of larger projects on this website can be simplified.

Generally speaking, a 100-point project should require approximately 12 class periods to complete.

Students must first get all project ideas approved by the instructor before starting a POP using this POP template.  The best place to start after getting approval is with a drawing.  YES -- YOU MUST MAKE YOUR OWN DRAWING EVEN IF YOU ARE WORKING OFF OF ONE YOU FOUND ELSEWHERE.  At least a sketch will be necessary for Mr. K to be able to ascertain an appropriate point value.

Students worked on project ideas for the period.

When trying to think about incorporating new tools and techniques into your projects, consider these resources:

1. Using chisels and the Tormek sharpening system.

2. Using hand planes (extensively), sharpening them as needed, and setting them up to cut properly. 

   • • 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. 

     • 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.) 

3. Incorporating hand-made dovetail joints in a project.  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.  

   • • How to Cut a Dovetail Joint by Hand -- by Matt Estlea.  

4. Using the Shaper Origin for either an inlay, or to create something using joinery produced by the Shaper (like a box joint).

   • • Using Shaper Origin and Shaper Workspace to Make Box Joints

1. A finished angled box and mortise & tenon mallet (each worth 100 points).

2. All smaller lab exercises and assigned homework.

3. A third project of at least 100 points of your choice, however THE PROJECT MUST INCORPORATE THE USE OF TECHNIQUES OR TOOLS THAT ARE NEW TO YOU.  OBTAIN VERBAL APPROVAL BEFORE STARTING WORK ON ANY POP.  Also, generally a 100-point project will involve more than the mallet did.

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 assist them as they seek project ideas for their third project for his 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 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.

ANNOUNCEMENT:  Daily journals were graded this weekend.  Reminders moving forward:

1. Entries should all have the day's date.

2. You are resubmitting the same document each day to the Canvas journal assignment (now Journal #2).

3. Responses should be stand-alone so a reader knows what was being asked as well.  This can be incorporated within your response.  You do not necessarily have to write out the entire question(s) each day.

4. When you are absent . . . you still must complete them as soon as you can.

DAILY JOURNAL:  Look at your current grade in the class.  In your journal, list everything that is currently marked as "missing".   For each missing assignment, indicate in your journal what your plan is for completing the item and the date by which it will be completed.  When finished, have Mr. K come look at your plan BEFORE you submit it to Canvas.

Students used the rest of the period to work on the Angled Box Project.

OBJECTIVE:  Students will expand their woodworking skills by completing their first project.

DAILY JOURNAL:  Answer the following questions that pertain to what was discussed last class period:

1. When using the table saw, what determines whether you will utilize the rip fence, the miter gauge, or a sled to guide your wood for the cut?

2. Explain how pressure should be applied to a piece of wood being jointed.

Students used the period to work on their first semester project.

OBJECTIVE:  Students will master the general safety practices associated with use of the shop, as well as specific practices associated with  the band saws, scroll saws, floor sanders, and spindle sanders, drill presses, table saws, the jointer, and the planer, and the chop saw.

OBJECTIVE:  Students will start work on their first project.

DAILY JOURNAL:  Look at the Project Grade Sheet linked below and respond to these questions:

1. What are the categories on the project grade sheet that will be used for grading projects?

2. What does the student do on the project grade sheet before turning it in?

3. Where are hardcopies of the project grade sheet usually kept in the room?

4. Where, other than the link below, is an electronic version of the project grade sheet linked on this class website?

The Project Grade Sheet was discussed and reviewed.  There will generally be hard copies of this document available in the classroom near the turn-in boxes.  Students are to enter scores (0-10 points) for each category shown on this grade sheet, and are to complete the reflection on the back page.  Then, the completed grade sheet (with your POP attached) and your physical project are turned into your teacher.

Students continued to work to complete the safety testing.  When finished with this, students began work on the Angled Box Project. 

OBJECTIVE:  Students will master the general safety practices associated with use of the shop, as well as specific practices associated with  the band saws, scroll saws, floor sanders, and spindle sanders, drill presses, table saws, the jointer, and the planer, and the chop saw.

DAILY JOURNAL:  There was no journal entry today.

SAFETY TESTING:  New this year, safety testing will be completed largely in an autonomous mode.  The basic procedure will look like this:

1. Student watches the provided video and/or reads the printed guidelines provided on the CV Safety Website for the  equipment in question.

2. Student asks the instructor any clarifying questions.  At times, some test cuts on the equipment may be performed with the instructor present BEFORE the safety test is completed.

3. The student will complete the online safety test in Canvas.

4. After the test is submitted on Canvas, students must complete test corrections, providing stand-alone statements that indicate the key concepts for any question improperly answered on the test.  A hardcopy of these safety test corrections must be turned into the turn-in basket in the room.

5. Videos and printed resources (but no other student or individual) can be used by the student to complete the online tests.

6. Students are encouraged to complete some of this work and safety testing at home or outside of class so that they may start work in the shop sooner.

SAFETY SCORE:  New this year, students will receive a safety score roughly every 10 class periods.  While working in the shop, each time the instructor observes a student using a machine improperly or in an unsafe manner (or in conflict to the safety guidelines provided by the instructor), the student will loose a point.  Minor errors will not incur a deduction.  So . . . best practice this year when you are out in the shop?  When in doubt about something, ASK!

Students worked to complete the safety testing listed to the right. 

OBJECTIVE:  Students will be able to access the class website, the Canvas class, complete the initial class survey, and access the class syllabus and contract.

OBJECTIVE:  Students will begin to think about the personal projects they wish to make this year.

Students completed the Initial Class Survey.

The class was discussed.

ANNOUNCEMENT:  Students will be required to submit at least one piece of work to some venue beyond the classroom (i.e. the school’s talent show, the Mid Willamette Valley Woodworking Guild’s annual show, or to some other community partner).   This could be either a required assignment or a personal project.  Completing a project on a commissioned basis for someone else would also qualify.

DAILY JOURNAL:  Students were directed to open up a blank Google Doc, and then save it as their Woodworking Daily Journal.  Starting today, the daily routine to start each class should look like this:

• Go to your locker.

• Remove your safety glasses.

• Place your phone into your locker (if you don't have a phone, come get a NO-PHONE token from Mr. K).  Mr. K will be taking attendance based on phones / tokens within the lockers.

• Open your Woodworking Daily Journal document and add a heading with today's date below previous entries.

• Navigate to this web page.  Under DAILY JOURNAL, complete what is requested of you, adding it to your single document that is your Woodworking Daily Journal.

• When finished submit your revised document to the Canvas assignment (yes, you resubmit each day of class).

• Usually at this point you can then proceed to the shop to work on projects unless Mr. K indicates otherwise.

• You will keep adding to your journal each day.  Doing this will allow Mr. K to get the class started and take attendance while you are learning/reviewing/completing something that is needed.

• If you are absent from class, you must still complete your daily journal.

• Journal grading will be unannounced -- meaning, grading will occur on whatever is (or isn't) submitted to Canvas.  Why?  Because journals should be maintained and kept up-to-date.  Missing entries will receive a zero for that journal assessment.

• Journal entries MUST be correct when there are correct responses to be made.  Therefore, do what it takes to make sure you know what correct responses should be.  At other times, entries will be graded on the quality of responses.  The journal is your instructor's way of ensuring that everyone knows and understands key pieces of information.  If you are ever unsure, ask for help!

• For today's entry, indicate at least two different projects you wish to complete this year.  Attach a picture of something similar to what you have in mind.  Then indicate why you wish to do this project, and how what you have in mind will differ from the provided image.  Be sure to submit this to Canvas.

Time permitting, students began work completing safety tests.
