Woodwork 2021

In semester 1, we started the project of creating our own spinning top. To create our own spinning top we were allowed to use

Goals

When I first started doing woodwork, I had very specific goals in mind. Our assignment was to make a spinning top handle of our own design. One of my objectives was to produce a design that was both visually appealing and pleasant to carry. I utilised my creative talent and design thinking skills to my advantage. During this project, my goals were to create an aesthetic spinning top handle, which was functionable. My final design was a narwhal that was only mall because I designed it for my younger cousin. Another of my objectives is to take advantage of the capabilities organisation. I used this skill to stay on top of my job and complete tasks in phases. I was able to finish my assignment a week ahead of schedule after doing this.

Organisation

The organization speaks for itself, as the instant, you go into the woodworking area, you must immediately ready yourself to work in order to avoid wasting valuable time.

Creativity

Woodwork requires a high level of creativity. With a creative mentality, you may build a spinning top that is not only visually appealing but also useful and comfortable to use.

Problem Solving

Problem-solving skills are equally important in woodworking. If you make a mistake during cutting, for example, there is no way to rejoin the piece. So, in order to make your spinning top, you must employ problem-solving skills.

Self Awareness

Self-awareness is critical because if you accidentally bump into someone while they are operating active machinery, they will most likely be hurt.
