WEEK SEVEN

Today was spent in the workshop finishing our saw horses so that we could use them to help elevate us when the time comes for us to be needed in a high place to fix the certain areas of our constructed building before we started any cutting we had to mark out the areas in which we were going to cut this came from a plan where we had to measure in from the edge of our plank a certain distance and mark it then we had to established the angle for the legs to be fixated on to we did this by measuring 20mm in and 60mm up to create the angle that was required for the legs to sit in a stable manner  (similar to the one below)

a bevel was used to maintain the angle that we had found from there we had to skillfully use our Saw to cut the desired angle for our legs to be fixed in to and using a chisel to chip away at the excess that remained  when that was all done our legs had to be in and shaped to fit flush with the top of the horse after the legs were fitted we then had to create a brace to add more strength and support to the horse and the task it will be fulfilling in this week we also had put together adrawing board for ourselves which consisted of three finely planed 15x145 planks which we glued together and kept flush on both the surface and the edges .to make sure that three planks did not seperate we used clamps to ensure that they remaineed in the position that we set thm to be at ,removed any excess glue and waited for them to dry after they had dried we used they belt sander to remove any glue that had dried on the surface and to make it completley smoother and even all the way through the board we then used a 15x 45 plank and measured 10 mm down on oppsite side to create an angle which we cut using the hand saw and made to triangular legs for the base of the drawing board we set them side by side and using the planner evened out as much as we could before fixing them to the bottom of our drawing boards using square head screws
