drawing board

today we started our drawing boards,
ohhh cant forget , igot my tools today yuuuusss!

welll anyway we learnt how to use a biscut cutter! because we had to piece 3 boards together as the base of our drawing boards. once the three pieces had been put together iglued them and used a sash clamp to hold it together! then ihad to leave it till the glue dried.

in the mean while we were taught by jared and bjorn (tutors) how to use a skillsaw safely. satey tips 1.make sure you keep the cord away from the saw when using it , prferably behind your leg!!! 2.always wear th correct safetey gear especially when working wth power tools eg. earmuffs, goggles etc
we learnt how to do two types of cuts wth the skillsaw . the first was the crosscut (this is when you cut across the grain of the wood) and the second the ripcut(when you cut wth the grain)
these techniques would be used later for the feet of our drawing board.!!!!!
thatts all ihad enough time for today , igot alot of catching up to do .
iguess thts what happends when you miss a day lol
