At home I have been doing work a lot in the morning then later in the day after 3:00 I go outside to play and have fun outside. Outside i go on runs with my dad and plenty of bike rides. That isn’t it I also play basketball I play soccer and I go on my trampoline. Inside when it is raining I usually talk to my friends, and play monopoly.
At home this week because of the corona virus, me and my family went to Vermont to go skiing for the week. So once they announced that there was no school we started packing and ended up leaving to go to Vermont on Wednesday. The worse part about going there is the car ride which is 4 hours long with no traffic, but since the coronavirus not many people were driving around on the highway, so it was a really short ride compared to the usual 4 hours it was a only 2! Then I skied with my family for 5 days and it was so fun! I got to ski with my brother and sister, and we had a great time. Then we had to leave the house we rent in Vermont for good, so we packed the car including everything we had there like our skies and much more. So since I seat in the back of the car I couldn’t see anything and also you cant see out of the back window. The car was fully packed it felt like we couldn’t put anything else in. After packing we drove home it was the usual 4 hours but it wasn’t to bad.
This a week I am sanding my box. Since we cut the wood last week there were a lot of rough edges and splinters. So this week I have to sand my front, back, side, and other side. Not my top and bottom yet because I have to do that later. But right now I am sanding my pieces to make them smooth. So I can make all my pieces the same measurement and shape.
This week we measured the dimensions for our box. I decided to do a 5 by 5 box. I measured the dimensions are marked were I should cut the wood. I did all of that then finally it was time to saw. First I put my wood into a vise and screwed it really tight. Then I got a saw and cut right were my line was. Next I cut my wood all the way down to make a perfect line. The edges were very rough, but we would sand later
During the second week of technology we used the hand planner. It’s is used to make wood flat and straight so the wood is not on an angle. You are supposed to hold the hand planner by the knob at the front with one hand, and the other hand on the back. When you use it it shaves off the wood into little curls. Also this week we planned and designed a box.
