An exhibition of St John’s College Industrial Technology timber major projects was a wonderful way to bring parents, teachers and students together to view these amazing works.
There was a vast array of talent and skill on display from the 21 talented students, including a blanket box with double-layered pin joints, entertainment units with beautifully arranged parquetry drawer fronts, another with barn door sliders, and a highly decorative games cabinet, to highlight a few.
A beautiful Blackwood pool table and bar showed accuracy in construction, while a contemporary round coffee table with a resin drawer and curved drawers showed innovation in design.
A vast number of timbers were used including Sydney, Bluegum, Jarrah, Ironbark and Victoria Ash to name a few.
The application of form laminating, laser cutting and sliding dovetail rails allowed students to develop new skills and bring highlights to their projects.
Congratulations to each and every student on their dedication and the wonderful items of furniture that they have produced.
