Working Hard!!!!

We are working hard in Workshop that's for sure, creating our treasure chests and for those who are a little bit further ahead then others are even able to create a wooden toy from the books Mr Bunks let us look through. I am lucky to be able to create a wooden toy, so I have decided to make a frog, but I am yet to start it. Emily is also a bit ahead so she is creating pecking birds.

Here are some pictures of us hard at work!!!!!

Update, week 6

Yesterday we all finished our light circuits in workshop. We also started treasure chest boxes, they're just boxes but they are shaped like treasure chests. We have also all nearly finished our cool hinges. I have finished mine and I am extremely happy with it. Some people are still finishing of their pencil holders on the lathe and others are way ahead and doing extra projects. So to sum up we are all a bit over the place but that is not always a bad thing. We are all having a lot of fun and there is a lot more where that came from. Bye for now

Hinges!

Another project we are doing as well as the light circuits is a hinge. For those of you that may not know what a hinge is, they are used on things like doors and cupboards so that the door of it can swing open. Mr Bunks said we could use the hinges for anything we would like, possibly a pencil holder or maybe just a typical door hinge the possibilities are endless. I'm just using my hinge as a typical door hinge it has zig zags on one of the sides it makes it look very awesome.

Light Circuits

In Workshop SPEC we have started a new project, i'll call it a light circuit. The light circuits use a lot of wires, transistors and resistors, etc. Once the circuit is finished, two small LED lights will light up when the wires touch. The circuit looks very complicated but when you break it down it's actually quite easy, though it involves a lot of soldering.

Wood turning

In workshop we have been working towards making pencil holders. We have been planing them down so they will fit on a machine called a lathe which we will use to plane down the sides more to make cool shapes to make it look like a table leg. Yesterday I made mine it looks so cool and it is also very useful! I'm sure everybody else is looking forward to their time on the lathe and using their cool new pencil holders!
