Marauder or Muskoka Chair

Brady built his Muskoka chair from 5/4 Cedar decking material to give a sturdy feel to his project.

Being the last day of practical exams he is taking a well deserved break from school.

Who Let the Dogs Out!

Zach let the dogs out.

He used pressure treated 2″ x 4″ for the base, 2″x 2″ for the wall and roof and finally he clad the exterior with spruce plywood. With 20 year fibreglass shingles, this project should last the same.

Zach finished the exterior with an outdoor stain to protect  the inside from the elements.

Justin Time

With the regular classes ending yesterday, Justin put the finishing touches on hs white pine table. Of course it is not white, he stained his coffee table with early american min-wax stain and clear coated it with 3 coats of water-based polyurethane (environmentally friendly).

High Def Ready

Seth designed this project to fit his own electronic equipment. He constructed the entire project out of maple solids.

Although Seth is happy, he knows that he is not allowed in the shop area with open-toed shoes ;0)

Super Side Table

Chris found the plans for this project in one of the class resources “Woodsmith” magazine. He used different species of wood to add his own personality to the piece.

This is his second year in Construction Technology and he has exceeded the expectations of the course. The entire project is made from solids that include oak and purple heart. Chris used the following wood joints to create a life-long piece of furnitre: rabbit, dado and and pocket hole.

Too Nice for a Cup of Coffee

This is Brandon’s first major woodworking project in Grade 11. He designed, estimated its price, layed out a procedure and constructed a fine piece of furniture. The combination of Purple Heart and Maple really make this project pop!

If you missed an earlier post, Brandon made a Step porject. The post is entitled “Step Above”.

Step Above

Brandon's Steps
