Foundations of Engineering

We will learn how to use and make bandsaw boxes

We will learn how to use tools safely

We will be expected to show mastery of our skills

Bandsaw Puzzle Cutout #1

I cut out two pieces of wood for my group to practice

Bandsaw Puzzle Cutout #2

I practiced cutting a piece of wood and it was a harder cut

Band Saw

Do's Don't

Wear safety goggles Horse play

Tuck in tie Saw wood rapidly

Wrap hair up Go back with wood

Clean area after use Leave on bandsaw

You use the Bandsaw by turning it on and sliding the wood through the bandsaw at a moderate rate.

Planner Saw

Do's Don'ts

Wear Safety Goggles Leave planner saw on

Turn planner saw off when not in use Horse play

Clean up after your done Put finger by planner saw

Wear ear protection Leave area messy

You use the planner saw by turning it on and placing the wood by the planner saw letting it slide through by it's self.

Planner Saw Cut

I shaved off the wood using the planner saw making it smoother.

Miter Saw

Do's Don'ts

Wear safety goggles Manually move the blade guard

Vacuum after use Saw when cord is out of place

Unplug after use Cut pieces that are to short

Reduce Blade exposure Measure while sawing

A miter saw is used to cut across a wood's length. This is called a cross cut

Bandsaw Box Glue Up

After using the Miter Saw, I glued the pieces together and used clamps to secure them.

Miter Saw Cut

I used the miter saw to even out the wood pieces that are glued together

Orbital Sander

Do's Don'ts

Wear safety goggles Use sander without teachers permission

Keep sander in motion Place sander on skin

Keep hand away from sander Place sander on surfaces it can

damage

An orbital sander is used to smoothen wooden surfaces. You can use them to prepare for staining and to perfect edges that aren't lined up.

Sanding with Orbital sander

I sanded this piece of wood using the orbital sander.

Stencil Spray paint Demo(no picture)

A material called vinyl was made into a stencil using a circuit machine. To cut the stencil, I used a box cutter knife. Next, I placed the stencil onto the cardboard and spray painted it.

Bandsaw Cut(No picture)

Using measurements I cut wood to make 2 sides and a celling.

3D Printer

Do's

Choose the correct file to print

Remember to name your file

Save file to SD card

Let the teacher know if your printing

Don'ts

Mess with 3D printer while it's printing

Have it print over 2 hour

My SPP Sketch

I sketched this shape by drawing a horizon line and making my shape then connecting the corners to the horizion line then connect the corner to the opposite corners.

Cut and Assemble

I cut out cardboard pieces to make a prototype of my sketch and tapped them together to make it.

Cut list

I sketched out smaller 2d shapes that fit into my 3d shape to cut out for my cardboard prototype

3D Knob Print

I made a design using tinkercad then used a 3d printer to make it.

Wood Stain

What to do:

Wear apron and gloves

Carefully dip rag in wood stain

Hammer lid after use

What not to do:

Use wood stain without table protection

Unevenly apply stain

Incorrectly use screw driver to open

Spray paint name on Box

I peeled my name off red sticky paper and put it on my box and spray painted it with black paint.

Laser Cut Prototype

I used a laser cutter to cut out cardboard for my prototype and taped them together to make my shape.

Stain all parts

I used the wood stain to stain my wood and I used multiple layers to make it look better.

DIY Wooden Coasters

4/17/2023 Today in class we learned of our nexxt project. We wil make DIY Wooden Coasters out of scraps of wood. Some of the important power tools we will use are the following.

Planner Saw
Table Saw
Orbital Sander
Floor Drill Press

Planner Saw

Do's Don'ts

Wear Safety Goggles Leave planner saw on

Turn planner saw off when not in use Horse play

Clean up after your done Put finger by planner saw

Wear ear protection Leave area messy

The planner saw shaves and smooths off wood.

Draw Coaster Design

This is a drawn out sketch of how I want my coaster designed it includes measurements and the different types of wood I want included in the coaster. The coaster is 3 3/4 x 3 3/4 with 5 3/4 stripes of pine and walnut wood.
