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.
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.!
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!
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!
Intro projects by our talented Fall 2018 Grade 8’s! Students learn shop safety while using a variety of tools and machines to create their first projects. Love the wood-burning!
Our friend, mentor, Teacher-on-Call, and retired shop teacher, Graeme McFadyen, passed away in Spring 2018. Two students, L.M. and D.S. found a partially-completed bowl that Graeme had been working on, finished it, and wood-burned a memoriam by hand. This bowl will be on display in our shop to commemorate Mr. McFadyen, and all that he has done for the Comox Valley community over the past several decades. R.I.P.
Unique cutting boards/laminated projects by Woodwork 9/10 students in Spring 2018 – and some fantastic wood-burning skills too! Excellent work done by all.
WOW! Unique whistles built by Grade 8s, incorporating bandsaws, drill presses, power and hand sanding, and wood-burning. Great work, everyone!
Some beautiful wood-burning work by S.B., K.M., and L.M. in Wood 10 – all done by hand on their unique keepsake boxes. Great work, everyone!
Fantastically done Grade 8 intro projects – the whistle. Check out that wood-burning!
