Benchmaking summary for December 15th 2015

Today's steps

These are the steps we completed  

1. clamped sides together
2. drilled pilot holes  
3. glued and screwed outside rails  
4. plugged holes to hide screws

Vocabulary

This is vocabulary we have learned

• clamp - to push together
• plug - fill holes with wood to hide screws
• pilot - drill a small hole before drilling over top with a larger Hall

Next steps

1. Put middle supports in with same process as before:

Assembling the main bench supports (Part I)

By Parker

Drilling Pilot Holes

On Thursday December 3rd 2015 in design technology’s we drilled wood B1, B2, C and F. Frist we gathered all the wood together to make our bench for our courtyard and put them in order. 

Putting in Screws

We drilled holes in the wood to put in them. We grab all the wood to glue it (using clamps). Parker glue it all together. We took photos of everyone we took good pics. 

Gluing and Hammering Plugs

We are making a bench out of this wood its pitchers turn out good. Jamarion and I drilled holes in the wood with the drilled bit to keep all the wood together.

The work so far

Next Class: We need to attach the other side the same way.

Park Bench - our second class.

This is our second time working on this project. Last time we decided how to make our website, and who would take the pictures. Then we in the workshop we cut up a big piece of wood into long pieces and we smoothed them.

Trimming using the band saw

Today we are we took pictures of the bench we are making in the workshop.

We used a pencil, ruler, measuring tape, try square, hand saw and band saw.

Some pieces were too long for the band saw

We cut pieces A, C, F, and two Bs and two Ds. This is the front rail, back rail, top rail, side rails and cross rails. You can also see these pieces on our plan!

Our Material so far

Next class we need to start to assemble them. The first priority is the main part of the bench.
