The Cutting Board - Edge Grain
The cutting board is a basic tool used in the kitchen and a great project that the students get excited about making because it is a practical project they can take home and use. In the process of making the cutting board the students get to use many machines such as the drill press, palm sander, power sander, table saw, router, miter saw, and jointer. All students will be given demonstrations on the machines, watch safety videos, be given equipment information sheets, and pass a test before they can run any machine! Students will also be given demonstrations throughout the process to show them the appropriate process and the reasoning on why it is done that way. The project ends with the students assessing themselves according to a rubric. The teacher also does this before they can take it home for use.
