Today we worked on the project details. For my project I am going to make a tiny house.
I will have 2 floors and they will both be 5 by 8 inches.
the roof will be made up of 4 peices of wood. Two planks which will be 8 by 8 and two triangles. I will use approximately 4 peices of wood. I can’t wait to advance into this project this is so exciting!
Thank you , Caterina 🙂

Types of Wood Joinery:
we are learning wood joinery for our project with wood. I like learning about these different joints because I think that it is interesting that there are so many ways to join wood together.I can’t wait for this project!
Thank you, Caterina 🙂

This week in class we are learning about the tools we use with wood. We are also learning about how to be safe when using these tools. Unfortunately because I am all virtual I am not able to physically hold these materials but it is still fun learning all the interesting things about them!
Two examples or the tools we are learning are the mini saw and the slice precision cutter.
Above is a picture of the mini saw it is used for cutting across the wood grain.
Above is a picture of the slice precision cutter. It is used for scoring and scraping the wood. To use it you take of the cap and ‘draw’ a line in the wood. Then you use your hands to break apart the wood where the line is.
*note= the slice precision cutter is to cut straight lines
We also learned how to hand these tools to our classmates and you in a safe way.
Thank you, caterina 🙂
