What You'll Learn

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Certificate)

  • Blueprints, drawings, and designer specifications — interpret with limited oversight to determine pattern sizes, shapes, and required machine setups for routine model assignments.
  • Full-scale mock-ups and sectional patterns — plan, lay out, and draw outlines for standard product components working from provided engineering documents.
  • Hand shaping tools and finishing equipment — apply with consistent accuracy to plane, shave, scrape, and sand wood models to specified tolerances on repetitive production runs.
  • Multi-part wood assemblies — fit, fasten, and align using appropriate fasteners and adhesives, confirming squareness and joint integrity before final assembly.
  • Dimensional verification — conduct independently using templates, calipers, and measuring devices throughout the hand-forming process to catch deviations early.
  • Wooden stock layouts — determine and mark efficiently using precision scribers, squares, and protractors to minimize material waste on standard production models.
  • Assembly annotations and identification marks — record accurately on patterns, parts, and templates to communicate assembly methods to downstream production staff.
  • Time and workflow management — organize daily tasks and tool setups to meet production schedules for multiple concurrent model-making assignments.
  • Spreadsheet and CAD software — use routinely to cross-reference dimensions, track part revisions, and retrieve updated drawings for in-progress models.
  • Non-routine surface defects and fit problems — identify during operations monitoring and apply practiced corrective techniques before escalating to senior craftspeople.
