After 3 days of being mostly in the workshop the tool box is starting to look like a tool box. On friday we finished of our drawings, cutting list, and joined our ends and base with the biscuit machine so come monday we were right iinto the marking out stage. We started monday morning by machining our timber to correct thickness and then spent the rest of the day marking everything out. It all went pretty smoothly with not much erasing and remarking to do.
Yesterday and today we were into the manufacturing stage and got a fair bit done. Most of my finger joints are up to scratch and it all fits together quite nicely. I had a little mishap last night while chiseling out the rebate on the ends, the corner snapped off but it was glued back without any dramas. While chiseling the other end of the rebate this morning I took my time and had no problems and it ended up pretty good.
Apart from the workshop, we also spent some time yesterday researching different glues used and presented our findings to the class. Today we also had an assessment based on the first task which I found OK but couldn;t answer the question about how o work out the true length of the leg. Need some revision.
