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!

Veneers include:

two or more layers of veneer adhered to each other and referred to as laminates employed to provide:

structured strength or shape (e.g. the back of a chair) that also has visual appeal

applied to a laminate of different material for visual appeal whilst maintaining other structural benefits

Suitable joining processes include:

mechanical press that uses two flat plates being brought together to press the veneer to the substrate during the gluing process either purely mechanical using a screw or level action or closed with a hydraulic ram. This method is only used for veneering flat surfaces

vacuum technique involving the component being veneered being placed in a form of bag from which the air is extracted. This method is favoured for veneering curved surfaces and also by smaller operators because of its flexibility

hot glue hammering that is a traditional method of veneering involving using hot glue on the surfaces being veneered and then hammering the veneer to the subsurface with a hammer

Joining to adjacent veneers includes:

butting two right angle edges together then ‘stitching’ the veneer using a hot melt glue or tape (commonly used for flat surfaces)

using a scarf joint then gluing the surfaces together (commonly used on curved surfaces)

Style and edge finish include:

solid timber

veneer to cover the exposed edge
