Required knowledge

characteristics properties and selection criteria of adhesives used

capabilities and limitations of tools used

matching requirements of adhesives and fasteners to timbersmaterials used

workflow in relation to the furniture items being made or repaired

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required skills and knowledge range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package

Critical Aspects of Evidence

Interpret work order and locate and apply relevant information

Apply safe handling requirements for equipment products and materials including use of personal protective equipment

Follow work instructions operating procedures and inspection practices to

prevent damage to goods equipment and products

maintain required production output and product quality

minimise the risk of injury to self and others

Select appropriate joint types for the furniture item

Utilise at lease three different adhesive types

To produce a minimum of four different joint types as specified in the Range Statement in accordance with industry standards on tolerances with at least two produced substantially by hand operations

Work effectively with others

Modify activities to cater for variations in workplace contexts and environment

Resource Implications

Timber chisels mallets mortise gauges vernier dial calipers vices dovetail saws planes files and drills

Method of Assessment

Assessment methods must confirm consistency of performance over time and in a range of workplace relevant contexts

Assessment should be by direct observation of tasks and questioning on underpinning knowledge

Assessment should be conducted over time and will generally be in conjunction with assessment of other units of competency
