Day One - Just Getting Started (Aiden)
Day 1 - Just Getting Started
Today was a day for planning and practicing for our upcoming woodworking projects, which involved us discussing the basics of woodworking. We started by discussing how our wood is turned from a tree into the wood we use, which was just a little background that was interesting to learn, and then we got to work practicing using the Jointer, a tool used for flattening the edges of wood that I first used during my Shadowboxes and Dioramas J-term last year, but had forgotten exactly how to use since.
To let us test, Mr. Grisbee gave us roughly cut pieces of wood and told us to cut them down to exactly 13.5in * 3in * 1/2in, a process that made use of the Jointer, as well as the Plainer and Table saw, which I personally thought was a good way to practice hands-on.
After we finished these, we got to work planning our projects for the rest of our A-term, and I decided that I was going to make two different projects, the first of which was going to be a simple lamp using wood and LEDs based off a design I had seen on the internet a few months back. Because this design would only take me two days at most, I planned for a second idea that would take me until the end of the A-term, but I haven't decided what that project will be when I'm done.
