In his entry, Jak Watson commented: “What I love about this trade is there are so
many aspects to experience and choose to get involved in, plus the fact that you’ll
never stop learning, there’ll always be more than one way to complete a job, different
methods you haven’t thought about until someone else comes along. You’re able to
take the skill anywhere you go as well as the skill being able to take you places. And
the best part is some of the people you’ll meet along the way.
David Dowdles, Principal, Building Crafts College, comments: “We are absolutely
delighted that Jak Watson, Bench Joinery student at the Building Crafts College, has
been awarded a Highly Commended certificate by the Institute of Carpenters.
Selected from amongst many talented candidates, Jak received this award in
recognition of the exceptional quality of workmanship exhibited in a table he
produced as part of the Institute of Carpenters’ national competition. Everyone at the
BCC wishes Jak the very best of luck in what will be a very bright future career.”
Commenting on Jak’s success, his tutor, Travis Warrington, described him as:
“..an excellent woodworker, a pleasure to teach and a student whose high-level skills
and commitment to his studies are second to none. This was reflected in Jak
achieving a Distinction in Bench Joinery Level 3.
