Lesson 4

Today, I aqquired the new piece that I would have needed. It looks at lot stronger than the previous piece, and hopefully it will stand by me throughout the project. Unfortunately, because of the fact I did not bring my dt folder to school (going to Germany) I didn't have the correct plans to be able to create the new piece again. So today, I focused on creating all the slots and grooves in all the other pieces. I believe that I have done this relatively well, and next lesson I will need to make that piece perfect.
I will miss the next 2 lessons due to being away in Germany.

Lesson 3

Today was going reasonably well, bar the fact that something terrible happened. I had made some slots precisely, I then used the Mallet to hammer the pieces in and the sides split. This was very upsetting as I had spent a long time doing this. Immediately I tried to fix it, and after asking the teacher, suffered an even greater blow. The other side broke off aswell. This is very upsetting for me and I feel that I have not had a good lesson.
Next lesson I need to finish the grooves.

Lesson 2

Today, now that I have had the main resemblance of the project made (big wooden pieces) i began to make slots into the wood so that as a flat pack chair the pieces would slot together nicely. However, this process is not as easy as it first seems. First of all, you have to precisely mark out wherever you want to cut. So, I had to measure VERY precisely in order to be cutting in the correct place, or the chair would simply not fit together at the end. What I achieved today, were 2 precise cuts which were nicely sanded. I am very happy :)
