Furnishing
VCE VET Furnishing provides students the skills and knowledge they need to enhance their employment opportunities in the furnishing industry. Students can produce a range of high-quality furniture items. Using traditional furniture-making techniques, students use hand and power tools to make and assemble components. They learn how to make measurements and calculations as part of a furniture making project and complete industry-specific units focusing on safe and sustainable work practices and career development.

Hall Table
Victorian ash, Jarrah
The piece of furniture I have created is a rectangular hall table made from Victorian ash and Jarrah timbers. It utilises a range of joinery techniques such as dowel, mortise and tenon joints and lapped dovetail joints. Though designed to be a hall table, this attractive piece would look great in any room of the house.

Cocktail Cabinet
American white ash, American black walnut, glass, steel
My furniture piece is a complex cocktail cabinet made from American timbers, black walnut and ash. The chosen timbers are visually contrasting and are finished with elegant matte black hardware and fixings. The cabinet is placed on wheels for mobility and accessibility, with a sliding barn door for increased design complexity and visual detail. All drawers push to open for a flush finish and a wine rack and glass holders allow for easy accessibility to all types of beverages.
