• Today we did an overview of what we learnt last week. We were then presented with two working drawings of a BBQ table the front and the side view. Then we analyze the fixings and the materials used in the table and worked out how much timber we were going to use and than worked out the costing of each timber depending on size and added GST and 10% wastage.

Framing Member	Finish Size	No.	Length	Total
Top Bearer	90x45	2	0.82m	1.64m
Seat Bearer	90x45	2	1.36m	2.72m
Top Slats	90x45	9	1.5m	13.5m
Bottom Slats	90x45	6	1.5m	9m
Legs	90x45	4	9m	3.6m
Braces	90x45	2	0.9m	1.8m
			Total	32.26m

• Add 10% wastage  *  Cost of Timber $3.30/m  *  15% GST. (in this order)
• 32.26x1.10= 35.49m  *  35.49x$3.30= $117.12  *  $117.12x1.15= $134.69

• Then we were separated in groups and each group had their own task:
• Timber Evaluation/Grading
• Timber Seasoning
• Timber Treatment/Types
• Effects Of Insects and Fungal Attack

• As i was put in a team we were given the task to search information on Timber Treatments/Types and planned a poster with 5 questions on it and answered them with the information we searched up on the Internet.

• After wards we  got to finish our drawing board. Before i used the Router i put on my ear muffs and safety glasses. I used the Router to cut the edges of my board so that it wasn't sharp and found it easy to control as i went around the corners/edges. Then i used the Drill with the Twist Bit at the end to drill two holes as deep as the long and small screw through the two triangle pieces length wise. Then i glued the bottom of the triangle and screwed the screws in with a portable drill making them legs to the bottom of my drawing board. Drilling the holes were a bit difficult and tricky for me. As i drilled the hole my hole it was drill towards the side of the timber which means i didn't keep the Drill straights as i lined it up to drill. Next time ill make sure it is straight and that i drill slowly and Steadily.
