Woodwork Projects
Step Stools
One of our 2019 skill-builders in Woodwork 9/10 is a step stool – this project incorporates skills including angled table saw cuts, drill press and bandsaw shaping, jigsaw slot-cutting, and dowel-cutting. Students choose their wood species, and they all turned out beautifully! Awesome work, everyone.
Wine Rack
An incredible self-directed project created by C.C. in Grade 11! Built from alder and all wood-burning done by hand. Excellent work, C.C.!
Skateboard decks
This year was our first attempt at deck-building in the Highland Wood shop! E.M., M.T., and A.J. designed, pressed, shaped, sanded, and finished their own custom-built decks after some learning curves, and they turned out great. Painting done by A.J. on her longboard deck. Awesome work, everyone!
Boxes
Our Grade 11 students complete a “Beverage Holder”/multi-purpose box as a skill-builder, and use every machine in the shop to create them. Excellent work featured here by A.P. and M.B.!
Tablet/Textbook Holders
As an introductory project in Woodwork 9/10, students choose a laminated project. The students featured here designed and created tablet/textbook/cookbook holders, and used nearly every machine in the shop to complete them. Excellent work, folks!
Laminated Projects
A selection of beautiful cutting boards/serving platters made by Woodworking students this year – J.M. did our first-ever diagonal design! Students select their wood species, learn how to calculate board feet to price out a project, and design their dimensions. Great work, everyone!
Trades Picnic Tables
Our first adult-sized picnic table (donated to a local Early Child Education centre here in the Comox Valley), as well as our Spring 2019 tables donated to various daycares in our community. Excellent work, everyone!
Wood 8 projects
Wow! Check out these great projects by some of our Spring 2019 Wood 8 students! For many of these students, it is their first time using tools and machines. In our short time together, students create a whistle and a gumball machine, as well as an intarsia project if they have time.
Phone stands
A quick intro project in our Woodworking course – students design dimensions and wood species, and try some precision cutting on the bandsaw with an angled table. Excellent work!
