for the last few days we've been working on a saw stool. we started off with a drawing which we drew to scale. then we went into setting up the bevels to meet the correct angles for the legs of the stool. then into the workshop to start cutting. we had a practice run then on to the real deal. we marked out the timber chucked it in the vice then into the cutting. we had to make sure to make opposites, a pair of each. we then began work on our compound miter cuts. the bits were the legs meet the top. those joins are called through housing joins. we had to get these exact. but as usual we allowed a little room to move. this is the stage I'm up to now. cutting the legs to the right size and tidying them up. the angles at times were a bit tedious but once sussed all was sweet.
In the class we've been working on more numbers they were a touch more interest this time as thought process was involved. we have also been using tapes with a practical approach to working out areas and perimeters. must remember to bring in ruler lever arch file and calculator for tomorrow.
