Service Learning Continuation

After a lot of consideration, I decided to continue my Service project. We had been drawing up our final plan, which was to make a Little Free Library. First we sketched plans.

Then we started building. We are using a whole load of machines we never thought we would use ever. This project also is helping my partner and I learn good skills. Some machines we used were the drop saw, orbital sander and others.

We then used processes such as joins and clamping to form the pieces. You can see one of our wood pieces in a clamp here-

Eventually, we started forming our library. Today we managed to screw in all the pieces and get it looking good. Hopefully we can try and paint this.

As well as our main pieces, we also used off-cuts to create a frame for the door, which still needs to be planned out. We will probably do this in our next lesson. I would like to thank my woodwork teacher, who gave us so much support and so many skills, and also to my partner Caitlin who has been so good to work with. I will write one of these hopefully every week- I just wanted to get to partial completion stage. Hopefully the residents of AMANA will like this, as they seemed very interested in the idea.
