I'd like to think I am one here, who is qualified enough to help out with any Shop questions you have.
My credentials are as follows:
Licenced Electrician
A-Z class driver's licensed
3rd year registered apprentice as a High Voltage Lineman
2nd year registered apprentice Truck and Coach Technician
Level 4/5 Wreckmaster degree
Diploma awarded "Vehicle Extrication Training for Intermediate and Advanced Training Skills level" from Extrication.com
And really good at carpentry, (my Dad was one)

I also consider myself a pretty good cook, however, I know for a fact, that there is at least one here who has shown us what the definition of culinary delight really means.

So I humbly ask that MsRR join me here to answer your Home Ec questions and your shop questions as well, she's pretty handy eh, in a lot of other areas to long to mention.

Oh, BTW, even if you don't have a question in need of answering, post here what they're teaching in shop and homec these days, I'd love to hear it.

 Ah... yes.. Home Ec. I've really loved that when if I grow up as well. Because I don't want to be a slob, who can't even cook, or fix your home when there's a broken ceiling or pipe leak.

 In the school I got to it's called, T.L.E(Technology and Living Education)

 For this grading period is... Sewing, in the later parts it goes on to Industrial arts, with Electronics, and wires on your house or if you want to call it with electricity.. and so on..

 But the thing I would love is Entrepreneurship, yep, that I am not going to wait as much, because that I want to be doing.
-----------------
But What I would want to ask.. What is the basis of an Electrician/Technician?

Thanks for sharing that, sounds really cool and your attitude to being hands on is most impressive

Before I can answer your question you need to define what you mean by basis

Hahaa...attitude being hands on... try also to clean your classroom, when it is wooden floor, 34 chairs, and that you have a coconut, broom, and dustpan. Move the chairs, sweep it, put them back, clean the blackboard, then the erasers, take the trash can to the back to be dumped, by yourself in a hot day, after you walked to school.

Well.. I'm trying to work into the thing of Electricity in the household, so if there is anything, if I want to build a house, where to put the wires, the cables, the you-know anything electric, sorry, I'm a failure to my dad, who was an electrician back in the days.

Things are tough all buddy, so you wish to become my apprentice young Padawan, that is cool, but a really huge undertaking, ok I'm in, first tell me what you know about Alrternating current and how it works to provide us with means to make life easier. Also tell me your level of education, I think you mentioned it somewhere else, can't remember where.

Hmm... Alternating Current is the AC right? With the other one the Direct Current, and since the direct Current only goes in one direction with the Alternating Current go back and forth.

So in essence it would make less wires or time? Or that an AC current can be increased or decreased in power? Sorry, just really not good at this, I need to get my T.L.E book.

Um... I'm in High School II year, or 8th grade equivalent in America. But I have many thirst for knowledge with learning stuff fast sometimes.

Also I talked to my mom when I was young.. about that my parents bought a lot in the Philippines next to the shore, and she said it belongs to me and my brother, and I promised(Me bing young at that time with love of building) that I would build a house there. So can carpentry work on going? Because Architecture is what I'm trying to learn as well.

One more thing, have you heard a house made from reinforced concrete, takes a very long time, but it resists a lot of damage, and contains heat saving energy. That's my house. Wink

First I'll say I'm not a fast typer, so forgive my short answers, that's an elecrical joke, short, get it, settle down class, the laughing might upset the class next door. What's a T.L.E book? 

A text book would be a good idea, we would a frame of reference in which to study.

Got it, Can you name all or some of the chapters, if the book sounds good I'll buy it and have it shipped to me, so we'll both have one. If there's a chapter on house wiring, describe page one.

sorry, it is in B.E.C or Basic Education Curriculum which doesn't give much, just on the electron theory, the different kinds of Electric Circuits, Electrical sysmbols, tools and equipment, Schematic symbols of electronic components, identifying diagrams, electric project construction.... and this is only the second year book... but none a less I would say that this book wouldn't go anywhere. Carpentry, Carpentry...... sorry, I've just been interested in that. I have so many things to learn.  Cheesy

Excelent, now I need to know what you have access to in the way of tools and electrical materials so we can get started on your first Electrical Shop project, which I can describe to you in detail, once finished you'll have a better understanding of simple home wiring

Well... my dad was once an electrician or was it technician in the navy, he said, and I could still see him do things that are technical, but those are just new to me.

I could ask my dad about those.. but he come home after he said he would do stuff at some place, and that it is still 11:02 PM, where is he?

Here's a project I did back in trade school. Typical household wiring and the symbols used. This is standard practice for an apprentice. But we should begin with a little theory as well, (i'm still trying to find my equation cards)

S1 denotes a single pole switch, this device turns something on or off
S3 denotes a 3-way swich, allowing you to turn something on or off from 2 different locations
S4 denotes a 4-way switch which allows control from multiple locations, I wonder if the mods can give us a Blackboard?

This seems like the best place to start, with some notes on safety

Safety
Safety is of utmost importance when working with electricity. Develop safe work habits and stick to them. Be very careful with electricity. It may be invisible, but it can be dangerous if not understood and respected.

1.Safety glasses or goggles should be worn whenever power tools are used, especially if you wear contact lenses.
2.Make sure the power is off at the breaker box before doing any electrical work
3.Always work in a dean, dry area free from anything wet.
4.Wires should only be connected at accessible junction boxes. Never splice wires together and conceal them within a wall without a junction box.
5.Never attempt to strip wires with a knife. Aside from endangering your fingers, you will nick the wire metal, which will create an electrical hazard.
6.Ground fault circuit interrupter outlets should be used under damp conditions (basements, bathrooms, outdoors, etc.), as required by the National Electric Code.
7.Don't create fire hazards by overloading an outlet or an extension cord.
8.Avoid electrical shock by mapping and marking your switch and outlet boxes. Put the map on the door of the main power service panel.
9.Leave a warning message that you are working on the circuit at the service panel, and tape the circuit breaker in the off position. With a fuse box, take the fuse out
10.Never change the size of a fuse or breaker in a circuit.
11.Be certain your connector is CO/ALR rated when you splice aluminum wire. If it is marked CU/ALR, use only copper wire. Do not use aluminum wire with push terminals; use only copper or copper-dad aluminum wire.
12.Always correct the problem that caused a fuse or circuit breaker to blow before replacing the fuse or circuit breaker.
13.Replace wiring that shows signs of fraying or deterioration.
14.Avoid breaking your knuckles by bracing the powerful right-angle drill so that it cannot spin around if it gets stuck while drilling.
15.Before working with wires or electrical connections, check them with a voltage tester to be sure they are dead.
16.Plumbing and gas pipes are often used to ground electrical systems. Never touch them while working with electricity.
17.Don't use metal ladders with overhead electricity.
18.Use the proper protection, take precautions, and plan ahead. Never by-pass safety to save money or to rush a project

Ah, it seems interesting and fun.... And I knew my dad saying about America using 110, and the Philippines 220, which this computer is using, while my American made monitor in 110.

I will get imedeately my Microsoft office onenote.


Wow.... Nice safety precautions, need to heave that warnings.

Oooh... Am I guessing we are going first to do schematics, and symbols of electronic objects, and etc towards any object?

Also any chance in this subject we will learn Architecture and Carpentry, or is that another Subject all together?
