All work needs to be with me on Friday 8th May

You are all aware - good luck have a good weekend.

Good progress but be aware of deadline

Apart from H who will be making the practical work at BHS all students are progressing practical work at BGS. Progress is picking up and outcomes are developing. Good steady progress then so far. However the deadline is Easter for all practical work. Folios need to be handed in immediately after Easter.
We like P's work - substantial unit - will need a lot of time to apply a finish which justifies the effort put in. Should be okay.
We like the vertigious corner unit from Mx. Similar comments to P above.
We like the chair. A catnap chair. Must get on with this C but I think again as above we will be alright.
We are excited by the re-assessment from D - interesting storage / occasional table.

ABOVE ALL KEEP TAKING PICTURES, CHECKING AND WORKING ON YOUR FOLIOS.

Wheels for D

Go to Focus ..... on foot (:o)

Good to see practical work commencing

It is always good to actually start cutting the wood / plastic for our models. Remember to always measure twice and cut once - in other words check and check again before committing yourselves. All students progressing well - but please remember to keep your portfolios up to date. Photograph your work as it progresses as much as possible.

Materials will need ordering asap post half term

We need to order materials. Natt - wherever you are make sure you understand and plan what is needed for your practical ( how much 9mm plywood?)
The rest of you are aware - however you will all need to PLAN and produce a cutting list. I suggest that this is indicated to scale on a sketch which should be placed in your folio. Do not forget about the blade width of the saw - adjust your sizes if necessary.
Thanks to those who have engaged with our guest engineer - he is impressed by you all and provides us with another view.

Thursday 10th July JG away

Can students work independently with the aim of completing section 1 - see the A3 handout I gave you all. In particular produce an INITIAL SPECIFICATION.
