Hello everyone,

This week in class we continued to work on some TinkerCad designs. I made a design of my name but it will not be printed because I think that I made it too big. Next we designed what our box would look like since we are going to make a box out of wood. We got to plan the size, color of the box, and the color of the felt inside the box. I like how we aren’t all making the same box and they will all be different. Next we had to figure out exactly how many pieces of wood that we would need and all of the other materials. That was kind of hard because we needed to know the measurements of all of the pieces of wood. Than we learned how to use a hand planer and we used them to cut wood. It was difficult at first but it became easier.

This is what a hand planer looks like:
