Students fly solo making pens
Part of Lesson Plan: Turning a Pen
Activity Overview / Details
After a student has made one pen using the instructor checklist, they are allowed to make more pens without using the checklist (they only get 1 grade). They are required to cut their own blocks and encouraged to apply the skills they learned to making a more difficult pen. This may include pens with tenons or pens made from acrylic. Be sure to give the student the instructions on working with acrylics as the drilling and turning is slightly different. Students should have the basic understanding so that they can read and understand the differences between wood and acrylic.
