Students are to work in pairs when using the Forest Scientific CNC's. One person doing their sign, the next helping them. When the first person is done, the second person will work with and teach the third person on the list how to operate the CNC. The third person will help the second person do their sign. This pattern will continue, with students teaching students how to operate this equipment. Work will proceed in this fashion until everyone is finished with their signs. PART OF YOUR SCORE FOR YOUR SIGN WILL BE HOW INDEPENDENT YOU ARE WHEN USING THE CNC, AND HOW EFFECTIVE YOU ARE IN TEACHING OTHERS HOW TO USE THE CNC.
After you have finished milling your sign, cross your name off the paper copy of the queue in the CNC room so we know who is next on the list.
Students worked on the following things in this order of priority:
1. Move forward on your sign project.
2. Continue work on projects from first semester.
3. Identify, select, and write a POP for a next project you would like to do.
  - Use the POP Template linked to the top of this page when completing your POP. This POP Grading Rubric will be used to grade this assignment. (However, you will not be held accountable to determining the required board feet of wood for your project until we cover this in your class). Be sure to follow all instructions on the POP Template.
  - It is suggested that students access 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. This should be your target for a project you select.
  - Students must first get all project ideas approved by the instructor before starting a POP. 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.

OBJECTIVE: Students will utilize shop equipment to expand their woodworking skills.
OBJECTIVE: Students will understand how to use the Forest Scientific CNC routers.
DAILY JOURNAL: There was no journal today. Instead, students completed this short Career Goal Survey. This is mandatory, not optional.
ANNOUNCEMENT ON SIGNS: If your sign is 9" or taller, the top hole should be a slot that is 3/8" wide, and 1/2" long. It should be positioned so that the center of the curve of the top of the slot is 1" from the edge of the sign which will leave 11/16" of wood between the slot and the edge of the wood.
ANNOUNCEMENT ON SIGNS: If laser engraving text -- please add a black stroke of .02" to all text (not arrows, just text and numbers). This will require you to resize the text slightly, and reposition your lettering. This also might cause your overall sign size to be modified slightly.
Students were walked through the process of creating toolpaths using Mastercam. Much of what was discussed can be found in these Contour and Pocket Toolpaths Using Mastercam.

ASSIGNED WORK:

Solidworks File of Trail Sign with Tool Paths (Step #4) (DUE: 2/24) Requirements and suggestions:
- To cut out your sign perimeter, use a contour toolpath, 1/4" flat end mill, and utilize tabs. The depth of cut will depend upon the thickness of your wood. Use depth cuts (.25"). And you will need to use tabs -- use four tabs 1" long, .2" high, and use a 45-degree angle.
- You will need to try both left and right compensation to determine which option results in the cut being made on the outside of your design. One will cut the sign to the correct size, one will make it too small.
- You will use the same tool to make the mounting holes, but you will use a pocket tool path instead of a contour.
- For the lettering, use a pocket tool path, a 1/8" ball end mill, depth cuts (.06"), and cut to an overall depth of .140". You can try selecting your entire text sketch to define the pocket, but don't be surprised if you need to make a separate pocket tool path for each and every letter. Sometimes that happens.

- The artboard should be the size of your sign. Rounded corners or randomized corners do not need to be shown in your Illustrator file.
- Lay out your text. Then, to determine the size of your sign if it isn't already specified, make sure there are 2" of sign between the text and the edge of the sign on all edges.
- Use the Sign Layout Guidelines document linked on the project page when laying out your sign.
- Your design should be very similar to the image on the reference sheet listed for your sign on the master spreadsheet.

We have a new tool in the shop you might find useful this year if you need to resaw something on the bandsaw. Please watch this short video: Guide Pro Bandsaw Guide User Video . The Guide Pro's are located in the tool drawer in the shop below the good block planes. You won't be able to use a normal push stick as the back edge of your wood approaches the blade. Instead, you will need to have a blunt piece of wood ready to push with and/or be prepared to switch from pushing the wood from the front of the saw to pulling it through from behind the saw. Please try to set one up before getting to work today so you know how to use it.

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. You will be working largely on your own while Mr. K is teaching the Woods 1 class that meets during the same period. That said, whenever you have questions, please come ask him. Occasionally, you may be asked to assist Woods 1 students, but this will not be frequent.
- As with last year, each semester students will be asked to complete one or more outreach activities extending beyond the classroom. For the first semester this will include either submitting something to the school's talent show in the winter or participation in activities such as Women of the Woods after-school camps. For the second semester, students will be asked to submit two pieces to the Mid Willamette Valley Woodworking Guild’s annual show in the spring.
- 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 and ear buds into your locker. This year there are absolutely no phones or earbuds allowed during class. Your learning will be greatest if you are present in the Now while in class rather than thinking about what might be occurring on your phone. The locker is the best place for phones and PED's. If Mr. K sees them, even in a pocket on your person during class but not out, school policy requires him to take the phone for the rest of the day.
- 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 TEACHING WOODS 1 SIMULTANEOUSLY EACH PERIOD, TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOU. AT TIMES, POINTS WILL BE TIED TO WHAT HE MIGHT REQUEST.
- Resume work on your projects.
WHAT TO START WORKING ON TODAY AND GOING FORWARD:
- 1. Complete the Initial Class Survey (DUE TODAY).
  2. Print the class contract, if needed, so it can be signed at home and turn it in before the due date.
  3. Completing safety testing (due by 9/16).
  4. Completing your Semester Plan.
  5. See Mr. K for your initial Shop Support Project (in which you will make something like a table saw sled, etc... that will support your work this year). Mr. K will assign this to you.
  6. Completing your POP for your first project.
