Designing and building a Cabinet

Tech Lab (T1)
A large piece of timber will be shared between three students who will discuss the best way of cutting and sharing this board and locate a person with the expertise and skills necessary to divide the board safely. Each student will be creating their own portfolio as a word document. Later this can be uploaded to a website to serve as an online portfolio, to provide an individual record of the project. A conventional portfolio will be compiled in a display folder.
