Welcome, Redoux!
Today Mr. Zartler reviewed the basic intro from yesterday.
Students learned about "checking in" during attendance at the start of class. Checking in means taking the time to make an accurate reflection of ones physical, emotional, and mental state. We need to be focused and present to be safe wood workers.
Students reviewed the major machines that the class will use by following a piece of rough lumber as it was milled up: jointer; planner; table saw; band saw; chop saw / table saw.
Students began learning about some of the basic qualities of wood. Students compared milled wood to a tree. Terms discussed include: hardwood; softwood; domestic; exotic; face, edge, and end grain.
Students learned that properly glued joints are stronger than the wood that they join. Students worked in pairs to glue a joint which we will do destructive testing on next class.
Students read today's post from Wisdom of the Hands, Doug Stowe's blog. Then the class discussed the assertion: "Carpenters Build Community."
