The projects will count for 60 per cent of their HSC mark in the class and the pieces of furniture on Friday were judged by representatives from the Board of Studies markers.
Teacher Peter Zideluns said he was again very happy with quality of the major project furniture pieces and last year four students in the class achieved a Band 6 mark of 90 per cent or higher.
Standing out and taking a bit of explanation was Carl McEvoy games table made out of blue gum and featuring multiple games that are revealed as the table is opened including include chess, checkers, backgammon, roulette and more.
“It’s based on a vintage Italian games table and my great aunt had one,” Carl said.
Also of interest was the entertainment unit made by Luke Kingston featuring fully recycled timber including Oregon pine from the Bermagui harbour and also fence palings from a demolished house.
“The top comes from a veranda at a house that was being renovated, the doors are from old fence palings and the drawers on the front are from recycled Oregon pine from the Bermagui harbour, and that cost me a case of beer,” Luke said.
Madelyne Czubara, the only girl in the woodworking class, meanwhile finished off her entertainment unit very nicely with a natural edge of red iron bark timber.
Ryan Weymouth also went for an entertainment unit out of commonly occurring local timber of spotted gum with a modern twist of push release doors and stylish handles.
The other students were Cameron Krenkels with his blue gum coffee table and Jack Reid with his modular book case made out of pine.
