Overall Goal: Demonstrate an understanding of the safe and correct use of construction tools, equipment, and techniques.
Specific Goals:
- I will explain how to correctly and safely use, maintain, and store construction tools and equipment (e.g., hammers, measuring instruments, table saws, mitre saws, drills, lathes, cordless drills);
- I will select the most appropriate tools or equipment for specific tasks (e.g., wooden mallet versus framing hammer, crosscut saw versus rip saw, combination square versus framing square);
Overall Goal: Use tools, equipment, and techniques correctly and safely when preparing materials for a project;
Specific Goals:
- I will use tools, equipment, and techniques in a correct, efficient, and safe manner to prepare project materials (e.g., dress raw lumber; measure, cut, and square stock; drill; fasten and join);
- I will perform the various measurements required in the fabrication and assembly of a project, using appropriate metric and imperial units.
Overall Goal: Use fabrication and assembly techniques safely, accurately, and in the correct sequence;
Specific Goals:
- I will construct projects in accordance with specifications (e.g., sketches, working drawings, lists of materials);
- I will fabricate and/or assemble project components in a logical and efficient sequence (e.g., select appropriate materials and tools, follow step-by-step instructions);
- I will apply appropriate quality-control measures to ensure precise dimensions and correct assembly (e.g., accurate cuts, clean joints, true edges).
Overall Goal: Prepare surfaces and apply finishing products, trim, and hardware correctly and safely.
Specific Goals:
- I will prepare surfaces correctly for finish application according to type of material, desired finish, and intended use of the project (e.g., wood species used, smooth or textured surface, environment to which surface is exposed);
- I will apply suitable finishes (e.g., stain, paint, varnish, oil, wax), taking into account the type of material to be finished, the function of the finish, and the intended use of the project, and use appropriate methods to apply these finishes correctly (e.g., brush, spray, roller);
- I will use appropriate tools, equipment, and techniques correctly and safely to install trim and hardware (e.g., baseboards, moulding, hinges, pulls).
