Make sure you bring your personal protective equipment to class each day: CSA approved eye protection, CSA approved foot wear and COVID masks. It would also be a good idea to bring CSA approved hearing protection as most equipment used in the Mill & Cabinet shop are very loud.
Reminder that we well need to frequently wash our hands and sanitize tools/equipment when you're finished using it and returned to the tool room or another student uses it.
Home day work will need the text. This assigned work page and the MSTeams page will have adjustments done to them periodically, primarily to due dates for assignments.
Calculation Board feet: Board footage is calculated by multiplying the nominal thickness in inches (T) by the nominal width in inches (W) by the actual length in feet (L) and dividing by 12. The formula is: T x W x L = Board ft (See the example I did in class on the whiteboard for Question F from your handout sheet.)
Note: 1/16” = 1” or ¾” = 1’ (or 12/16) for scaling the drawings of framing walls and floors before doing the work in the shop.
