Term 3 - Week 1 - Coat Hanger

For the start of this term we are making a coat hanger. This is what I have drawn on sketchup so far:

Week 7

This week I did not do much. All I did was start to cut up the pieces for the draw. Next week I will be putting my draw together.

Week 5-6

This week I cut the two middle pieces, which will go in the housing joints I created earlier, to the correct sizes. And glued it all together. I also glued a piece along the spice rack, to prevent the spices, or what ever is going to be on there. from falling off. My kitchen rack now looks like this.

Week 4

This week I measured out and cut the housing joint into my two side pieces.

Tools:
- tri square
- tenon saw
- chisel
- mallet

Week 3

This week, after i cut out my design into the two side pieces, I sanded the both off so they are now exactly the same size and design.
Tools:
- oscillating sander

I also drilled the holes for the turned piece using a 25mm spade bit (making sure they lined up exactly).

Kitchen Rack - Week 2

This week I have started to make my kitchen rack. I have drawn and cut out the design into the frame:

Kitchen Rack - Week 1

This week I chose a design for my kitchen rack. This is my design which i have chosen:



















I have also started to construct a port folio this week.

Week 5

This week we cut nine blocks which will be used as the O's and X's blocks.

The cubes looked like this:



We then we branded an 'X' into one side and an 'O' in the other using a bench drill. We heated up the metal parts of the machine to extreme temperatures and then burnt the X and O into the blocks. 


We also put finish on everything this week. 


The finished product looked like this:

Week 4 continued

By the end of this week i had glued all the divider into the frame.

I also had to glue the base onto this. It then looked a bit like this:

Week 3-4

At the end of week 3, i had finished making the dividers using halve joints.












Then at the start of week 4 i had all my dividers ready and i then glued them into my previously made frame.

I did this by doing the following:

Week 3

This week I glued the frame together and started to make the dividers using half joints, which go in the middle of the frame.

Week 2

We started to make the frame of our O's and X's box this week by using lots of techniques with tools such as:
- saw
- mallet
- chisel
- tri square
- marking gauge

Week 1

This week we drew up our O's and X's box in google SketchUp and complete safety tests.
