Elements and Performance Criteria
- Determine job requirements
- Develop and lay out wood patterns
- Pattern parameters are calculated to specification e.g. angles, tapers, clearances, contractions etc.
- Pattern is laid out showing tapers, machining allowances, core prints and method of construction to specification.
- Jigs and fixtures are developed and manufactured to aid wood pattern manufacture as required.
- Manufacture wood patterns
- Materials are marked out and construction is developed to meet specification.
- Using acceptable wood pattern making techniques and procedures, and utilising appropriate hand and handheld power tools, pattern or pattern component parts are produced to size and shape and checked for conformance to specifications.
- Using acceptable wood pattern making techniques and procedures, pattern component parts are joined or fixed as required and checked for conformance to specification.
- Pattern is correctly marked, colour coded or tagged to specifications or standard operating procedures.
