Started today with my year 10 students on their Patu and Mere project.
All students were informed of their need to sign a form which stated that these products were not to be used as weapons before being allowed to start.
With a large class this is some undertaking. What with the students' size and the number of students in the class there is little space to move.
Most of the students were motivated and enthusiastic about the project.
Quite a few students found using the bow saws difficult and some still struggled with the coping saws with the thicker timber.
Deciding to allow the students to use the bandsaws saved a lot of broken blades and time along with improving the accuracy.
Some students think that this will be a quick project but they may find that they are mistaken.
