Wooden Plate!

Ah, a new week a new assignment. This week we will be making plates in my woodwork class, I'm particularly excited about this assignment because I like making things and working with wood, we have use a couple big tools already and I have to admit i was nervous but who wouldn't be? We used the miter saw last week to cut our wood from the stock and today we used the plainer to flatten our wood so that it is even. Some people preferred the hand plainer because the wood shop teacher drew a finger on a thin piece of wood and took the "finger" off in a split second with the tool... I didn't let this faze me because there was no way my fingers were getting near that little spinning blade. I always had that little thought in the back of my mind that re-played the chunk of wood disappearing into saw dust in seconds, only that could've been my finger. Needless to say, I pained my wood and its super flat and smooth so the next step in gluing the two pieces together but that will be next class. But anyways, bye for now ^-^
