Technology 7 Week 1 post

 

So far in tech, we have gone over some safety rules, some things we will do, and an activity  that required for us to get a screw into a piece of wood. During this activity it was very easy to get the screw in as well as out, and it was even easier when we used the vise as a third hand to hold the wood in place when I was screwing in the screw. At first I did have a little difficulty keeping the block of wood stable, but I eventually found a solution as well as many others to make things easier for us. The awls I realized had a sharp point, which is why its purpose is different from a screwdriver if though it looks similar to one. Also, I did realize how some of the screwdrivers were actually magnetic to the screws, which was sort of entertaining to find out. The screw that we had to get in were easier to get in if they were smaller, but if they were larger it was a little more difficult to get in. Some of the screws that were really long, were actually a little thin but despite their small size in width, the fact that the screw is very long requires for more effort to be put into getting it in. The pieces of wood we used, some of them were really thick and hard, when some were thin and it was easier to get a screw in for those pieces of wood. The wood that was thick and hard, it took a little longer to get the screw in and out, but I found a way that made rotating the screw quicker and more efficient, that made it not as difficult as I though it would be. To get the screw in was a little harder, as we had to get the screw in before we had to start, when we took it out it was easier for we just had to rotate the screw to the left.
