In class today I didn’t end up doing any work on the box because there were to big lines to use tools and we were making a plan of the next 10 days.  That’s right. We only have 10 days left.   I was going to come at lunch anyways but it made lots of sense […]

Today was for watching videos about what we will do, but I did get to see my glued box: Remember that this is just having glued the  front, back, and sides. Unfortunately, one of the sides didn’t glue well: It is ok, because I just need I just need to stick a little glue in […]

It was a very exciting week in tech! Finished up manual sanding with sandpaper and used belt sander to fix some edges. When using the band saw, not just did I have to wear safety glasses but also a dust mask. Yesterday, at the end of class my wood was ready to be glued, but […]
