Tech 7- shaving wood

In tech, yesterday Ms. Giroux taught us and let us shave wood. We used a hand planner to shave the wood. The shaved wood came out in curls and balls of wood onto the floor and table. On the hand planner there is a little sharp edge on the bottom that shaves the wood. We used the vice to hold the wood so we can shave the piece of wood. The day before that we got to design something in tinkercad. I designed a word that said skate. I was planning to have that 3D printed and put it in my room but I didn’t need it. We also started a box project and I designed a cube shaped box. That’s what we did this week.

Tech 7- screws and screwdrivers post #1

Yesterday, in tech with Ms. Giroux we got to practice screwing screws into thick pieces of wood using a screwdriver. It took me a long time to get a screw through my piece of wood. Later, Ms. Giroux helped me and taught me a few things. She helped me use a vice the way its supposed to be used. She helped me make a starter hole in the piece of wood too. After she taught me a few fundamentals I got my first screw through. I used a big long blue screwdriver and a small screw. The screw fit perfectly in the starter hole I made. After I got my first screw through I felt proud and happy.
