Steel tempered pendants

Students design their pendant/keychain, cut and shape 1/8″ steel by hand, temper it with an oxyacetylene torch, then engrave their chosen image onto the piece. Each piece is distinct, and they look great!

incredible junior wood step stools!

I was so impressed with the amazing and unique work that came out of the Wood shop this semester – and I know these students were very proud of themselves. Great work, everyone!

Pewter castings

Some excellent work done by Grade 9/10 students C.B., W.B., S.J., D.R., D.B., and J.S.. Each piece was designed by the student, carved out of Plaster of Paris, then cast with molten pewter.

Stunning wood piece

Very impressive project by J.L. in Grade 10. Handle was carved by hand, whale tail profile was cut out on the bandsaw. Check out the before and after (after features a leather strap and a wood burning of J.L.’s home – Read Island).

These are not the projects you’re looking for…

Awesome creative project work by K.M. (stormtrooper) and J.Z. (name plate – it reads her name either way you flip it) in Senior Jewelry. Check out the neat texturing on the nameplate background too!

That first one is just in time for May the 4th…

Creative indeed! Students choose an image and their metals, cut out their designs, and solder them together by the power of “sweat” soldering. Featuring work by Grade 11 & 12 students: C.F., M.L., A.G., M.X., T.H., K.E., and C.M.
