Class was focused on finalizing plans for children's toys that are due on 11/12 February.
Students were encouraged to analyze their plans (and adjust as necessary) for the potential for "Short Grain Failure". Short grain failure is when a narrow piece of wide has the grain running across the short length. In orther words, the giraffe below is oriented in a way that gives long grain running up the neck and down the legs. The fish is arranged to have a long grain along it's bill, however the tips of the dorsal fin and the tips of the tails and fins would be in danger of sufferring short grain failure.
Students were also asked to cut long boards to appropriate length for joint on the Miter saw; and to plane boards that had already been jointed.
Meanwhile, Intermediate and Advanced students were working on a complex ramp build for Wizard of the Oz.
