Term 3 week 1

In the first week of term 3 we have been informed that we will be making a coat hanger over the next few weeks. the coat hanger we consist of two pieces of timber connected via a bridle joint and will have a dowel 8 mm in diameter. we have begun making the coat hanger in sketch up.

Term 2 Week 4

This week i have created to slots in my kitchen rack side pieces. these slots are 12 mm wide and 10 mm deep. for this i have used a marking gauge, chisel and a mallet. these will eventually hold two other pieces of timber via a housing joint and a drawer will fit nicely between them.

Term 2 Week 3

This week i have begun making my paper towel holder. i have started to make the two side pieces of the rack which will hold the lathe turned piece of wood for the paper roll itself. to create this i have used a copping saw and an oscillating sander. in the future, this piece of wood will have two housing joints to hold the draw and a 25 mm hole. the measurements are as shown below.

Term 2 Week 2

we have begun to gather ideas for our paper towel holder. Mr Davoren has supplied us with the description and criteria for the project and some students including myself have begun to work on it. i have completed my selection and rejection ideas and therefore have chosen the model i am to create next week.

Term 2 Week 1

this week we have been informed that we are going to create a paper towel holder that is to be used in the kitchen. we must have one housing joint and one object that has been turned on the wood lathe. it also must  have a drawer and can be wall mounted.

This is the End Result

week 5

week 5, we cut 9  42 mm, 42 mm, 42 mm blocks which were then had X's and O's burnt into them using a drill press which had been heated to extreme temperatures by a branding iron.

equipment used: branding iron, drill press

week 4

In week 4, the inside frame, the outside frame and a one 183 mm, 183 mm, 4 mm base were glued and nailed together, which was then oiled to create our tic tac toe box

equipment used: glue, nail, clamp 

week 3

In week 3 we used another 4 pieces of wood to create the inside frame for our tic tac toe box. 4 pieces of 177 mm, 12 mm, 30 mm were used which then had  2, 15 mm trenches cut from the thickness of wood. this would then create the inside of our 9 block tic tac toe box when all joined together

 equipment used: mallet, chisel, vice, marking gauge, tri square  

week 2

this week we begun making our tic tac toe box. firstly we used 4 pieces of 183 mm, 12 mm to create an outside frame. on both ends of one piece of wood, we made a tongue and groove joint that would connect the 4 pieces together. we then dug two trenches in each piece of wood 6 mm inwards which would be where our inside frames would fit.

equipment used: hammer, chisel, marking gauge, mallet, tri square
