Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to use techniques, materials and equipment for the production of wood objects. As such the unit covers general knowledge and the application of basic techniques, which would generally be nominated by the supervisor. It is a specialisation unit and refers to a specific art form. This work would usually be carried out under supervision.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Prepare and maintain physical resources for the production of wood objects.
- 1.1 Correctly identify and select tools, equipment and materials required for the production of wood objects.1.2 Prepare, clean and maintain tools, equipment and materials in accordance with relevant workplace procedures and safety requirements.
- 1.3 Organise and maintain work space so that it remains clean and safe.1.4 Store tools, equipment and materials in accordance with relevant workplace procedures and safety requirements.
2 Use and test techniques for working with wood.
- 2.1 Safely use techniques for the production of wood objects.2.2 Use and test nominated techniques to determine the capability of the technique and its application.
3 Produce the wood objects.
- 3.1 Drawconcept for the proposed wood objects based on own ideas or supplied information.3.2 Correctly identify the steps and resources required to produce the proposed wood objects.3.3 Select appropriate tools, equipment and materials for the specific wood objects.3.4 Calculate correct quantities of materials required and minimise waste where possible.3.5 Use techniques, tools and materials safely to produce the final wood objects.
RANGE STATEMENT
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.
Tools and equipment may be fixed and include hand and/or power tools for:
assemblage techniques for wood
carving and turning wood
cutting
engraving, branding
other tools, e.g. measuring tools, mechanised paint stirrers, various fasteners and fittings
protective clothing.
Materials may include:
flexible industrial and/or natural materials
those required for assembling/joining wood and other materials
those required for wood finishing, e.g. sandpapers, stains, lacquers, paints
wood and wood products.
Wood objects may include:
carved panels, e.g. low or high relief
implements, e.g. letter openers, cutlery
jewellery
other functional items, e.g. walking sticks, boxes, trays, clocks
sculpture
simple furniture e.g. tables, lamps
simple musical instruments
turned flatware and bowls.
Workplace procedures may relate to such things as:
cost control
process-specific procedures
recycling
reporting
safety
use of materials.
Organisation and maintenance of the work space may relate to:
dust extraction facilities
lighting
process-specific processes
ventilation.
Within this unit the range of techniques used would generally be quite limited in nature and may include:
combining wood with other materials
design and construction of jigs
joint construction
model making
simple assemblage techniques
simple wooden tool making or modification
timber preparation
wood bending and forming
wood carving
wood turning.
Testing techniques may include:
experimenting directly with work in progress
exploring techniques by making practice pieces
making samples applying nominated techniques.
Drawing may involve:
computer generated design
diagrammatical representation
drawing directly onto wood
full scale mock-ups
model making
paper and pencil
prototypes.
The concept for the proposed wood objects may be influenced by:
elements and principles of design
the subject matter or theme for the work, e.g. the body; identity; land and place; political, cultural, social issues; spiritual concerns.

EVIDENCE GUIDE
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 for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit in this unit
The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:
production of wood objects which demonstrate a command of nominated techniques and which reflect the concept
general knowledge of tools, materials and equipment used in the production of wood objects.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
The assessment context must provide for:
evaluation of visual language and technical execution of work pieces produced by the candidate
practical demonstration of skills using required tools, equipment and materials to produce a minimum of one wood object.
Method of assessment
Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:
direct observation of work in progress
questioning and discussion of candidate's intentions and work outcome
written or verbal reports
review of portfolios of evidence
third party workplace reports of performance by the candidate.
Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands (e.g. literacy) and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).
Assessment of this unit requires access to the materials, resources and equipment needed to produce wood objects using the nominated techniques.
