Joni's Woodworking 1st Year Journeywomen Carpenter

In this Slideshow you will see some examples of work that I've completed while attending my First year in Carpentry at NSCC, a view of what I had done during my One week work term, as well as some personal woodworking projects I enjoy doing at home.

This Knotty Pine Coffee Table included the use of many hand & power tools such

as a Table Saw, Router, power drill, Power sanders, Chisels, hand saw, and

sanding blocks. It also required me to follow a set of prepared plans, keeping the

table level and square, then using my own creativity to add some decorative

touches once completed.

This is after I

routered all of

the edges of

the table,

power and

hand sanded,

used a Pecan

colored stain,

and applied

Four coats of

varnish for a

beautiful

shiny top

coat.

After customizing

His and Hers Serving trays. The

base is

glued and screwed,

supported by a dado cut

to secure it, hand sanded, stained

in Bombay walnut and Ebony.

Notice the Forrest scene indented

into the “Hers” tray to give it some

character.

My learning experience building this shed included: wall

framing at 16” O.C, window, door, and stairwell openings,

Sheathing, Shingling, building a floor with braces, trusses,

metal wind support system, headers, lintels, and doorway

openings and shed door.

Footings and Foundations.

During this week, I learned how to do foundation

Wall paneling, how to secure the ties from panel to

panel while keeping them level to the layout, secure

the rebar in place, coat the panels before installing

the cement so it will not stick, use a vibrator to

release air from the cement when pouring, and

remove the paneling, placing them neatly

back into the cages, when complete.
