House & Mill Carpentry Program
Program Overview
Students entering in the House and Mill Carpentry Program are instructed in the safe and proper use of hand tool, portable power tools, and stationary power equipment. They are also instructed in layout, design, and various machining methods. These skills are then used to fabricate progressively more difficult projects, ultimately leading to the introduction of Computerized Numerical Controlled (C.N.C.) Training in the state-of-the-art Multi-Cam routers and the S.C.M.I. point-to-point machining center.
A portion of this program deals with the building of a house. Junior and senior students construct a residential home in one of the four member communities. Students are instructed in rough framing techniques, shingling, exterior finish, interior finish, as well as built-in cabinets and the installation of custom cabinetwork.
The House and Mill Carpentry program provides students with the skills necessary to compete in today's highly technical and demanding building trade industry.
