Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Evaluate timber selected

  1. Other materials which may be incorporated into furnishing item are identified and compatibility factors to be considered are recorded for inclusion in production plans
  2. Moisture content of timber selected is determined to ensure compliance with production requirements
  3. Density and working properties of timber are determined to ensure compliance with production requirements
  4. Any faults or features in the timber are identified and strategies are suggested to overcome/minimise their effects
  5. Recommendations on any changes to appropriate finishes and adhesives are recorded for inclusion in production plans
Other materials which may be incorporated into furnishing item are identified and compatibility factors to be considered are recorded for inclusion in production plans

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

From a range of ten (10) common furniture species samples, identify the species correctly, match it to a specified application and justify the choice

Correctly identify natural and seasoning faults in selected timbers

Use a moisture meter to measure the moisture content in a minimum of three (3) samples, including one (1) hard and one (1) soft timber

Use mathematical ideas and techniques to correctly complete measurements, calculate area and estimate material requirements

Communicate ideas and information to enable confirmation of work requirements and specifications and the reporting of work outcomes and problems, interpret basic plans and follow safety procedures

Minimise wastage of resources, including materials, time and money

Work with others and in a team by recognising dependencies and using cooperative approaches to optimise work flow and productivity

Characteristics and uses of a range of available indigenous and overseas timber

Commonly used complementary materials and their compatibility when used in conjunction with others

Impact of climate and workshop conditions on timbers

Timber seasoning methods, techniques and faults

Solid timber conversion techniques
