Overview

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to produce and assemble solid timber components using angled and curved construction methods. Products may be custom-made or mass-manufactured and could include curved counters, desks, seating, cabinetry and end panels.Workers with this competency follow established procedures using discretion, judgement and problem solving to determine construction methods based on design documentation provided to them.

Assessment

For Melbourne campuses

Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce & extend knowledge and skill competence within set & controlled parameters in accordance with each unit's learning outcomes & performance criteria requirements, including the setting of work-based practical application tasks designed to provide evidence of competence outcomes, within periodic and scheduled timelines.

Students will be expected to demonstrate the following required skills:

  • produce at least 4 curved components using solid timber, collectively including:
  • one kerfing method
  • one machine curved method
  • one laminated curve method
  • produce at least 2 angled components using solid timber, collectively including:
  • one bevel join
  • one flat panel angled component.

Students will also be expected to demonstrate the following knowledge:

  • workplace procedures for:
  • work health and safety
  • quality assurance
  • reporting of machinery faults and material defects
  • workflow for the construction process
  • how to:
  • interpret design documentation
  • prepare drawings and set-outs
  • techniques for producing curved and angled components using solid timber, including machine and laminated curve methods and bevel joins
  • techniques for skinning a curved sub-frame
  • techniques for producing flat panel angled components
  • types and characteristics of timbers used for angled and curved components
  • tools and machinery used to create angled and curved timber components, including those used for bending and forming
  • personal protective equipment (PPE) required when creating angle and curved components using solid timber
  • types and characteristics of adhesives used in cabinetry and furniture construction.
