March 8

  • Today i sanded off my drawing board till the grain was clearly visable, smooth and ready to be polished. I also sanded the sharp edges and pencils marks. Then we went to the workshop with the machines and got 2 by 4 timber for our Saw Horse. The 2/4 timber we chose was rough and twisted or bowled. So we used the Electric Planer also known as the Buzzer and planed one of the two sides of the timber so that it would be square. While we used the planer we wore ear muffs and safety glasses. As we used the planer we kept the timber flat up against the wall and guided the timber across the blade with our fingres on top of the timber instead of handling it were our fingers were on the side closest to the blade. As i used the planer i found it to be a cautious and very dangerous machine, the blade on this machine had its blade facing up instead of downwards making the job more serious to work with and before you cut you must set the guard about 10 or 20 cm away from the timber that way the rest of the blades covered and is less likely to catch any of your loose clothing or your arm or fingers. After that you Must cover the blade then switch of the power. Then we used the Thicknesser to cut the other two sides square so that all sides were equal/evenly cut and followed the same safety rules and steps we were taught the first time we used it.


  • On our break i ate pies and drank fizzies then walked back to the building site and played some rugby. I also found it difficult to not bump off so many people no matter how they tried to hit me i just sorry for them cause they always flew to the other campus site , ha.

  • We moved to the computer rooms and were set out to do two assesment reports Numeracy and Literacy. For Numeracy i scored 16/30 and for Literacy i score 18/33. As i reviewed my scores it made me think about how much i needed to learn making that my strive to score a higher score the next time i do this assignment again.
