The project involved constructing a bedside table from radiata pine and hardwoods and incorporating a decorative laser engraved design on the tabletop.
Laser cutting and engraving technology is an integral part of many industries including the manufacturing sector.
Completing the project enabled students to gain hands-on experience with the advancing technology.
Students also focused on developing a range of carpentry techniques including constructing various joints, assembly work, fitting an inlay and applying appropriate finishes to the timber.
Students will utilise these skills in the construction of their HSC major project.
