SAMS @ work

Pull toys designed for our little siblings but teaching us how to use the tools.


French seams and hemming to make our boxers secure.


Unpicking is time consuming but the results are worth it.



Now how do I do this seam again.


No it's not finger painting, its is putting a layer down for the background.




Getting things just right takes time.






Some completed travel games. Cross halving joints help teach us accuracy for measuring and cutting to make a tight fit..






Year 10 Boys Patu's








Coasters in time for Fathers Day teaching us accuracy in both measuring and cutting.









Year 9 Beach Chair ready for the sun.










Our first product was designed to help us find our own work from others.

Students are working steadily on their Patu and Mere.
Initial shaping has occurred and the smoothing of the edges is taking longer then they thought.
Protocols are being observed and an understanding of the importance of the article is understood.
