Friday / Monday September 13/16

Friday: Do a good job with Mr. Winn, please. I'll be back, hopefully with a better shoulder on Monday!

Today you will be taking the test on the Drill Press. After taking that test you will fill out your Equipment Operations Test Sheet. Notice that Drill Press is first on this list. You should be proficient (that means having passed the test on Drill Press; Bandsaw; Miter Saw; and Sanders by the end of first quarter -- this will be part of your quarter grade). The planer and the table saw will be part of your first semester grade.

Earlier this week I shared my prototype tool chest as part of our discussion of Design Process.


The next one is my travel box; the tools and the holder all fit inside the tote behind it.



Today I'd like you to watch a video about tool chests by two famous woodworkers. The show is hosted by Roy Underhill "The Woodwright," Roy worked at Colonial Williamsburg for years, and has hosted the show you are going to watch for ages. He is an expert in older methods. On the video you are going to watch his guest is Christopher Schwartz. Chris annoys me sometimes, but he is amazing. He studies old woodworking to help us know how to do better woodworking today.

As you watch this video think about how the tool chest works. Try to understand how it is put together. You might draw pictures to help you think about what you might want a tool box you make to look or work. The Dutch Tool Chest on The Woodwright's Shop.

If time reamins, Mr. Winn will help you look through a "slide show" of hangers to get you thinking about what you might make starting next week.

Here is a link to the examples / prompts Examples of holders and racks
