Construction builders carry all

We made the builders carry all the first project this year so students could use it to store pieces for other projects as the year progresses. The 3D model is now online.

An ex-student who left the 2011 cohort when he got an apprenticeship was seen working at school last Friday carrying his tools in an old 10Ltr bucket. This student never took his toolbox home. Now during construction some of the equipment you can make to go in the toolbox are carpenters mallet, oilstone case (both pictured in the 2012 image below), a marking gauge, a try square and soon I hope a hand plane. Imagine turning up for work experience with gear you had made and know how to use. You can make the right impression if you want. It only takes effort, patience, listening, watching, thinking and trying. When you choose VET Construction make it count.

Here's the demo unit I made with the 2011 crew
Using parts that were cut too short by a student this year, this is a modified unit
