Nerin Thal opens the apprenticeship book and samples signed at the bench at the joinery bench at Fern Hall. Before anyone changes a mark, the crew checks the standard test uses the same joint even when the apprentice specializes elsewhere. The budbreak period sets the pace of the work.
The page holds 22 skills assessed with a dated sample from more than one project. Nerin Thal reads the preceding count, 16, before the next line is entered. A number without a date would not tell the next crew what changed.
Masters value a common comparison. Apprentices want the book to include work they completed in a real commission. Here the difference is visible between the posted rule and the route, service or shift just beyond the door.
Alimited trial begins without replacing the older record. The Year first, budbreak window 1 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The bench will test a portfolio page beside the existing joint test.
The shift closes with the source page attached to the board. The next file uses a new date and scope.
