September 30 -- October 4

Scale working drawings of your holder are due on Monday, 14 October. The plans should be preceeded by at least three sketches for alternative projects.

This week students learned:

Sandpaper is a tool!

We also learned about Random Orbit Sanders including how sandpaper grit works:

60-80 grit (pieces per inch) is very, very rough

120 grit will leave a pretty smooth surface

220 grit will leave a very, very smooth surface.

Students should have completed a cubby board for the ceramics program. This project is recorded under the Projects section of Synergy. Students should now have a successful "Demo" for the drill press and for the Random Orbit Sander in checked in the book.

Most students have had a chance to try a cut on the table saw.


We noted how we refer to dimensions of boards.

This illustration and work sheet was used to discuss the size of potential projects for students to design.
