Using Wood

Wood is cheap and forgiving.  If you make mistakes you can just cut the wood into another shape.

• Use small nails ( brads ) and PVA glue to fix your wood.  Use no more than 3 brads for each wood piece when gluing to another piece.
• Use a correctly sized drill pieced and a screw to fix the wood if you wish to remove the wooden section later
• Use a square, rule and pencil to mark your wood
• Use a wood clamp when you saw your wood by hand
• Give the marked wood to the teacher if you have a lot of wood to cut.  The teacher may use the table, rotary or band saw on your behalf.
• We only use softwood, ply and veneer woods in this subject.
