Observation

Step 2

Candidates were required to make through dovetail or pin joints.

Most candidates were able to identify the joint to be made.  They were able to make the joint.  However, some of them were unable to cut and chop off the waste accurately.

Each candidate’s final workpiece was to have two tails/pins (4 pitches, 4 sides and 4 shoulders) and two sockets (4 sides, 2 bottoms and fitness of joint).
