I. RATIONALE, DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSE

The Woodworking II course provides a more in-depth exploration of woodworking materials, processes and machine operations. Students continue to develop individual skills and techniques in woodworking processes, learn the reasons for selecting particular materials, tools and processes, and are able to apply these to individual project work. The class explores the design and construction of furniture, and incorporates this knowledge into project work. Students develop and use practical skills, critical thinking, problem solving, self-assessment, and individual and cooperative learning strategies which aid them in other areas of study, future woodworking courses, and in everyday life. Modern technologies and construction techniques married with old-world craftsmanship guide student work. An increased expectation in the complexity and quality of projects, and an understanding of the design and planning process are a part of the learning experience. Students learn to estimate and project the time, materials and cost of projects being constructed and demonstrate the efficient use of materials.

Students are taught the importance of well-maintained tools and machines. They learn to recognize when tools and machines require maintenance and how to perform simple repairs and maintenance, including sharpening processes. Classes discuss the health and safety risks associated with woodworking in both industry and the home, and learn safety recommendations and requirements for material handling, processing and finishing. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are discussed, as well as concerns for environmentally appropriate uses and disposal of materials and finishes.
