The Step Process of My Project

Step 1. I used a ruler and the piece of wood I am going to make my project out of to make a full size working drawing of my pencil holder.

Step. 2 I used a tri-square and a ruler to copy the measurements from my drawing onto the wood.

Step. 3 I marked a square line at 90° across and along the sides using a tri-square.

Step. 4 I cut off the first piece of wood using a backed saw and a bench hook to keep it in place. I didn't have enough wood so Sir gave me a second piece.

Step. 5 Next I marked out two joints using a pencil and a tri-square.

Step. 6 Sir used a marking gauge to mark out where the joints would end.

Step. 7 I then cut along the lines using the saw and a bench hook.

Step. 8 I realised I had cut crookedly so I sandpapered the sides, not helping the problem.

Step. 9 The next week I took my project to Sir and he cut it for me along with gluing in my joint.

Step. 10 After gluing in the joint he cut out a thin piece of wood and nailed it to the bottom.

Step. 11 I waited for half an hour.

Step. 12 The next week I took my project back to Sir and we marked out the holes for the pencils.

Step. 13 He then drilled the holes and gave it back to me.

Step. 14 I sandpapered the fuzzy bits and then marked out small crosses on the side.

Step. 15 I took my project back to Sir and he drilled out holes where the crosses were.

Step. 16 He then smoothed out the edges.

Step. 17 My project was returned to me once again and I sandpapered it for the last time.

Technology Wood

I have chosen to make a pencil holder for myself. I think this is the best choice because I have too many pencils, coloured and all, and I don't have any more space for them.

It will be used for securing my pencils. I will place it on my table in my room.

For this project I will have to consider smoothing the sides.

Design Brief

During today's lesson we spent our time discussing about clocks. We first talked about the different types and then spent half an hour searching for images of the clocks online and inserting them on a google drawing (or presentation). After adding the images we had to add a label next to them saying what type of clock they are.

We then spent another 30 minutes working on a design brief for when we make our own clocks. I have decided to make a clock for myself.

3D Oblique Sketching

In our second session with Miss Ferguson, we were given the task of practising drawing 3D shapes. We were handed a piece of paper which was used to draw on and write any new words we came across. A few of the words were oblique, tangent, parallel and tone.

We managed to pick up skills like drawing in 3D, shading with three tones, adding a shadow, and leaving space for a white 'y'.

When we were drawing 3D shapes we started off with drawing a square. This next step, if you are left handed you draw another square in the left hand corner of the first square. If you are right handed you draw a square in the right corner.

Next you connect the corners of the squares together. If you're feeling confident you can skip all of these steps and just draw lines from the top of the square's corners and connect them.

What Did We Do Today?

Today we had the first session of Tech of 2019. My group was with Miss Ferguson doing graphics. She had us working on a Google Drawing about ourselves. All we had to do was get pictures off the internet with a transparent background and insert it, though they had to be about what we like or are interested in.
