The first project S3 Craft & Design pupils undertake is a major design project to devise storage unit made up from common box joints. Examples of their efforts are shown here. They are a great year group and their solutions demonstrate their diversity, work etic and desire for quality finished folio and practical outcomes. It has been a real pleasure working with them this year. I look forward to seeing what their S4 projects will look like if their S3 work is anything to go on!

S4 Craft & Design pupils are generating ideas.

With the prelim now complete pupils are turning initial ideas into concept models. Some pupils may have difficulty knowing where to begin with this part of the process. Some have generated so many good ideas they have to choose just a few and get started on the modelling process. Their final choice should be made for the Christmas holidays.

As part of the required course knowledge pupils need to be able to outline the process involved in taking a square wooden blank and preparing it for turning between centres. These pictures depict that process chronologically.

Stage 1 * Preparation of wooden blank. Cut to size. Sand square. Mark across diagonals. Centre punch the centre point. Use spring dividers to mark circumference. Repeat on other end.

Stage 2 * Plane off corners down to circumference line. This takes cross section from square to octagon. This reduces force on cutting toll in initial prep of blank. Mount between fork [driven] centre and dead [or live ] centre at tailstock end. Apply grease a dead centre end. apply force from tailstock end to force fork into material at driven end. Adjust toolstock height to suit. Check for clearance.

Stage 3 * Roughout using scraper to diameter. Use combination of gouges and skew chisels to add beads and other decorative detailing as required. Ensure spindle speed is appropriate for material and cross section under consideration. Obey all safety instructions.

Cameron is a Craft & Design pupil who is attempting to generate ideas for his S4 lighting solution. In the research stage at the moment he came across the work of Paul Cocksedge. He's got some great videos on his website. So Cameron thought he'd try some experiments in the style of the artist.
