Practice
In class we began to practice using the band saw. I worked with my table group to cut this puzzle out.

We used the miter saw to cut a different piece of wood. I followed the rules of using the miter saw and cut the wood slowly. This was the result
Drawing Practice Single-Point-Perspective (SPP)
Drawing Practice #1
Drawing Practice #1
This is the first single-point-perspective drawing practice that I did in class. I decided to draw a cube and attempt to put it in single point perspective!
Drawing Practice #2
Drawing Practice #2
This is the second single-point-perspective drawing practice that I did in class. I followed the instructions in class and wrote the seven rules for drawing in single-point-perspective. After that, I followed each rule carefully, and this was my ending result.
Drawing Practice #3
Drawing Practice #3
This is the third single-point-perspective drawing that I did in class. For this drawing I drew a simple rectangle and followed each rule located at the top right of my paper.
Drawing Practice #4
Drawing Practice #4
This is the fourth single-point-perspective drawing that I did in class. For this drawing I drew a unique shape and followed each rule that I had memorized in my head for single-point-perspective.
Bandsaw Box Construction
Cutting out 2 pieces of wood
Cutting out 2 pieces of wood
I planned to use the bandsaw to make my first cuts for the project. We were each given a piece of wood to cut a straight line against using the bandsaw. We were sure to follow each of the rules and do's and don'ts to make our final result successful.
I also worked with the miter saw in class to make a cut on a bigger piece of wood. Instead of using the bandsaw we figured the miter saw would do the job quicker and easier. While doing this I learned more about the Miter saw and how it operates by having a hands on experience using it.
Bandsaw Box Glue Up
Bandsaw Box Glue Up
I used the two pieces that I cut using the miter saw and applied wood glue to stick both pieces together. I then added clamps to the pieces to hold the glue together until the next class period.
Assembled Hand-Sanded Box
Assembled Hand-Sanded Box
After I took the clamps off, I was able to successfully assemble the bandsaw box. I did this by using the hand sanders to smoothen out the inside of the box. I then attached the two pieces that I cut using the bandsaw to the ends of the box. This really brought the box together. After that, I made sure to sand the outside of the box to remove any glue that may have been showing.

On the final day of this project, I decided to work on staining the bandsaw box. I chose which stain I wanted to use and went through the process of staining the bandsaw box. To the right is a picture of my finished bandsaw box.
