Hello Carpenters!
By now you should be eagerly in the throes of some more exciting math.
Tomorrow (Tuesday) is probably the most important day of the course - table saw day. We will be introducing the table saw, doing a safety test (maybe including another Power Tool Institute video if you are lucky!), and then, hopefully, using the table saw to build another mini project - your tool tote. You'll be able to finish up your mitre box then as well.
Wednesday is our plans, specs and codes day. We'll be learning how to read blue prints as well as spending time with two excellent guest lecturers: John Este, the Chief Building Inspector for the town of Parry Sound will come to tell you everything you don't know about the building code; then we will have Trista from the ministry coming to answer all your questions about the current state of apprenticeship.
Thursday you'll be in groups working on our first main project, a trestle style bench. There will be bonus points available for whoever can modify the existing benches by the front doors of the college so that they sit level!
Finally, Friday will mark the start of the "Skills" section of the course, and we will look at how to build foundations and floor framing.
Have a good week!
