Folk,
Introduction to Woodworking (Periods 6 & 7)
Today your main job is to ensure that you have all of the required notes in your note book. I will collect these at the end of the period on Thursday, and grade them during confernces.
Mr. Winn will give you a checklist with instructions on it (It is also posted in the last blog entry.)
IF you finish that assignment you may use a chrome book to:
study Maucks.com/safety (Drill Press; Miter Saw; Bandsaw; Planner; Machine Sanders -- even Table saw
read an issue of Building Futures magazine (in a box under the white board) and learn about some career possibilitiees
learn about woodworking methods from one of the most popular teachers ever Roy Underhill
I will collect your notebooks on Thursday.
Intermediate & Advanced Period 8:
As we discussed last class:
1) At the end of class be sure there is a super clear and easy path from the roll up door to the location for the new drum sander.
2) Today you will be engaged in a kind of scavenger hunt; one or two of you will be randomly asked to report on your findings during each class over the next couple of weeks.
The resources I suggest you use are the youtube channels for the following makers. I want you to stay with the folk suggested because they (usually / almost always do things safely) and I think they do good work.
You may choose whomever from this list most appeals to you; I suggest that you view the thumbnails, and peruse several channels before settling on a video or two to do an in-depth analysis of. In fact, it's super fine to skip around through a bunch of videos first to find ones that really interest you.
Goals of the Video Viewing:
1) Find project ideas that you think are interesting and possible for you or other students this year.
2) To learn new techniques and approaches to making.
3) To spot hazardous or unsafe practices in "published" woodworking videos.
4) To practice critical viewing by identifying paid product placement and / or endorsements.
Be prepared to talk about a video in each of the four catagories described above. Be sure to be able to identify and readily share the video link with the class (One great way to do this would be to email me a link, and your notes on the above. I believe appropriate notes might be a half a page or so, and the best notes might include time stamp references, etc.
Anne of All Trades: Anne used to teach woodworking in Seattle. She is a very good teacher and woodworker. Some of her videos won't apply to what we do (e.g. grooming Alpaca.)
Pask Makes: An interesting Australian. He makes cool things with limited tools. Machine oriented. A lot of fun.
Mathias Wandell: He invented the Pantarouter. Machine oriented. Possibly a genius. Workmanship varies. Look back in his channel, he has not be doing a lot of woodworking lately.
Frank Howarth: Super smart; architect turned maker (you may have sat on things he's made here in Portland). A lot of what he does doesn't apply to our class; great film making.
Paul Sellars: Annoying but great instruction in hand tools. He will teach you how to do "it" with just a few hand tools. Great quality of information.
April Wilkerson: Best friends with Anne of All Trades. Approachable projects; Good techniques. Machine oriented.
Marc Spagnolo aka "The Wood Whisperer": machine oriented, but uses hand tools well. Very good at marketing himself. Solid techniques.
Marius Hornberger: Kind of a German Mathias Wandell (who is Canadian). Marius, like Mathias has literally built many of his machines.
