Tech Blog post #5

This past week at home has been kind of boring. The carona virus has shutdown our school for the past week and when I heard this news I did not know if I was happy or scared. I have not been able to do anything because my parents are not letting me go to a public place. I have not been able to see my friends either so I have been stuck at home for the past week. I hope I find something interesting to do over the next few days!

This week we cut the front, sides, and back of our boxes. I even got to sand them to make them identical and smooth. All of the pieces are now identical. Next week I will glue my box and put it together. I hope that my box will be in a rectangular shape and not crooked. (I could not get a photo because my blog was archived when we were doing this)

This week we started planning and measuring our box. After measuring we started to cut the piece of wood. We cut the front and back of our boxes. We learned that the wood would not be precise, but we would sand it later. My top and bottom were not identical so I hope when I sand they will be.

This week we learned about TinkerCad. I made a design for my name. I also designed a ps4. We also learned how to use hand planers. I discovered that the bigger hand planers were easier to chip of the wood. (I could not get a photo because my blog was archived when we were doing this)

This week in tech we learned about safety and tools. I thought the screw was pretty easy to put in, but the bigger ones were easier. I think it was easier because there was a pointier tip so it went in easier. Also removing the screws was easy because the hole was already there. The vice also made it a lot easier to screw and unscrew. I hope I get better at woodworking. (I could not get a photo because my blog was archived when we were doing this)

We are continuing our automata. In this right now I have to make my cardboard ferrari. Before that I had to make a big wheel and then cut it out. Before that I had to make my cardboard box and then put the cardboard corner pecies. It was really fun. I have really enjoyed my time in technology.

Today we are making and we learned about a automata. AnĀ automata is a box where when you spin a handle the thing at the top moves. I am doing a ferarri at the top and the handle is a car key. When you spin the key the car at the top moves left to right and up and down. This is really super fun and I look forward to see the outcome of this project.

Today we learned how to saw a tube. This is how you do it. First you take safety goggles and then you take the black things and put them in the hole so the tube is secure. Than you take the saw, make sure it is straight and then saw the tube. This is how we made the tube part of our flashlights.
