This is the faleo'o. Its is a building/hutt built all around samoa. This faleo'o is made of nails, rope, timber from the native land around them and the roof is made of palm tree leaves.
We were catching up on blogs today and also answered questions seeing how much we understood as we constructed the sawhorse. After that we had a go on eMIT which was interesting and also tricky. If you want to have a go you first have to sign up..
Then we got back into the workshop and i got to finish off cutting my legs. I then got to use the Belt Sander. I followed the safety precautions and wore ear muffs and safety glasses i would've used a dust mask but it wasn't needed because i checked if the belt sander had a dust bag to catch the dust as i used it. But before i used it i made sure the cord was over my shoulder and not near the belt and that i had a tight and firm grip on it so that it wouldn't take of when i started to use it on the sawhorse. I let the belt sander run at full speed for a moment before i used it and i made sure the sawhorse was stable so i kept my foot behind the leg so that it wouldn't fly backwards when i applied pressure to it.Then i sanded off everything else so that it would bring out the quality of the grain and be presentable.
