MON 2/5 (ALL)

CHANGES THIS SEMESTER:
- Projects will have deadlines before the end of the semester (3/22, 5/17 and 6/14) to help prevent students from getting behind. Unless there are extenuating circumstances, there will be no extensions on these projects so that you have time to complete all of them.
- Homework should be done outside of class . . . so that you can maximize shop time. There won't be much, but when it is assigned, please do it.
- Mr. K will be more focused on the safety score. Using equipment improperly (or handling sleds, etc...) will be infractions. Remember -- if he sees a phone during class (even in the classroom), that will be a deduction. If you think you need your phone for some reason, ASK FIRST.
- Clean-up scores will receive increased scrutiny. You need to continue to clean something needing cleaning when your task is done. Wandering around doing something that is not needed or simply easy does not count.
- Journal scores will be impacted by tardies. You need to get here on time so you can listen to initial instructions and reminders.
- IF YOU DO NOT COMPLETE A POP BY ITS DUE DATE, YOU WILL RECEIVE A ZERO FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT AND MR. K WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH A PROJECT TO DO OF HIS CHOICE.
- When you write POP's, you will still list all steps, but steps will be grouped by day. 12 full periods = 100 points worth of project. While you do the project, you will not be strictly held accountable to getting everything done each day as indicated on your POP. Writing the POP's this way will improve the process that assigns point value to projects. If you wonder how much time a step will require, please consult your teacher.
Items that must be finished for this semester:
- All smaller lab exercises and assigned homework.
- 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.
  1. No team projects.
  2. Student projects must be unique -- students are not to make the same thing as another student.
- Everyone will be required to submit two objects to display at the Mid Willamette Valley Woodworkers Guild Show to be held at the Corvallis Public Library from April 25th - April 28th. One object MUST be the first project you complete this semester. The second can be anything you have created in the past. Students will get their work returned to them. This will be your semester outreach.
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:
- Using chisels and the Tormek sharpening system.
- Using hand planes (extensively), sharpening them as needed, and setting them up to cut properly.
  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.
    - 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.)
- 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.
  1. - How to Cut a Dovetail Joint by Hand -- by Matt Estlea.
- Using the Shaper Origin for either an inlay, or to create something using joinery produced by the Shaper (like a box joint).

Students were taken out to the table saws and the use of sleds were discussed. One must always check to see if the sled rocks. If it does, beware. You might want to do a practice cut to determine how the sled must be used to result in a square cut. Ideally, a sled won't rock back and forth in the miter gauge slots. However, over time even with gentle use, sometimes this will occur. And of course, the rougher sleds are handled, the quicker this becomes a problem. The problem is compounded when the fence is also knocked out of square.
Mr. K is in the process of refurbishing all of the shop's sleds. PLEASE TREAT THEM WITH CARE.

CVHS and Mr. K will be hosting an after-school woodworking camp for 6th grade girls (Women of the Woods -- WOW) in late November and early December. Students will be making cutting boards. Mr. K needs some high school mentors to help keep everyone safe and provide assistance in the shop. The goal of the camp is to try and encourage more non-traditional student participation in the woodshop (and related classes). Students from Linus Pauling will be here Monday November 27th - Thursday, November 30 from approximately 4 to 6 PM each day. Students from Cheldelin will be here the following week at the same times (Monday December 4th - Thursday December 7th). Are you interested and willing to assist? Today, please come see Mr. K and let him know whether or not you are interested (yes, come see him regardless of your response). This would satisfy your Outreach requirement for the semester.

Starting today, students have been assigned specific clean-up tasks. During clean-up at the end of each period, students are expected to first complete their tasks as soon as possible (floor brooms cannot sweep before hand brooms are finished brushing off equipment and tables). When finished with their own task, students are to assist someone else and or sweep. Everyone stays working the entire time until Mr. K indicates clean-up is finished at the end of the period. Students receive points each day based on whether their assigned area is cleaned, and whether they stayed busy the entire time during clean-up.

THIS YEAR IN CLASS:
- There will be no daily journal in this class.
- Students must complete 300 points of project work each semester.
- As with last year, students will be asked to complete some type of outreach activity extending beyond the classroom. This can be satisfied by submitting 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), and can be some or all of your required 300 semester points. This could be either a required assignment or a personal project. Completing a project on a commissioned basis for someone else would also qualify. Alternatively, the outreach requirement could be satisfied via participation in activities such as Women of the Woods after-school camps, etc.....
- All students will eventually have a clean-up assignment and will assist with daily shop cleaning (and receive a daily score) as in years past.
- SAFETY TESTING: While you have used the equipment before, you still must complete safety testing. Mr. K wishes this to be as efficient as possible while still being effective in refreshing you on safety procedures. For you, safety testing will be completed largely in an autonomous mode. The basic procedure will look like this:
  1. Student may participate in the classroom demonstration and discussion of the safety associated with a piece of equipment as it takes place. The student watches / reviews the provided video and/or reads the printed guidelines provided on the CV Safety Website for the equipment in question. In some cases you may be so familiar with a piece of equipment that you can move right to the test. However, your instructor requests that you review if you feel the need. The score you receive on each safety test will be the score entered into the gradebook
  2. The student will complete the online safety test in Canvas.
  3. 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.
  4. Videos and printed resources (but no other student or individual) can be used by the student to complete the online tests.
- SAFETY SCORE: Students will receive a safety score approximately once a quarter. Students begin with a full score. While working in the shop over the course of the quarter, points are deducted from this score each time the student is observed using a machine improperly or otherwise not complying with safety rules and procedures. Score deductions depend upon the severity of the infraction. 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!
DAILY ROUTINE:
- 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.
- Navigate to this web page. Check for any announcements. Occasionally, there may be something you will be prompted to do. If so, complete what is requested of you. BE SURE TO DO THIS EACH DAY -- IT WILL BE THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY FOR MR. K, WHO IS TRYING TO TEACH THREE OR FOUR CLASSES SIMULTANEOUSLY EACH PERIOD, TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOU. AT TIMES, POINTS WILL BE TIED TO WHAT HE MIGHT REQUEST.
- Resume work on your projects.
