DAY 1
DAY 1
Today I was a little behind and I was completing my previous project.
DAY 2
DAY 2
Today I was working on easel and figuring out what my sign would say.
DAY 3
DAY 3
Today I added the correct measurements to Easel so the CNC machine carves my design correctly.
Day 4
Day 4
Today I kept working and added to my sign idea.
DAY 5
Today I came up with my final idea and I'm going to take wood home to trim it before putting it in the CNC
Day 6
Day 6
Today I put my final idea into the CNC website to create it.
Day 7
Day 7
Today I sent my idea to my teacher so he can program the CNC machine to do it.

Day 9
Day 9
Today I finished cutting out my project with the reciprocating saw and drill press.
Day 10
Day 10
Today I took a video of my project working and finished my reflection paragraph.
Using Easel, CNC machine, drill press, and reciprocating saw, I created a sign based on the career in DNR because that is my future career. I created a sign that says "Deer Hunting" and "No Deer Hunting" which uses a slide to cover up one phrase so you only see one. This project took me a whole ten days to complete.
During this process, I learned how a CNC machine works and how to use the website to tell it what to carve. I also learned how to use the table reciprocating saw. Finally, I learned how to use a drill press efficiently and safely.
The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project ties to Innovative Designer because I came up with my own ideas. I tested my idea and made sure it worked. Finally, I solved problems I encountered and finished my project.
A challenge I overcame on this project was making the channel go all the way through the board. I was able to do it by using the reciprocating saw to cut through with a nice clean cut. I got to personally use the saw which was a really cool experience.
Given a chance to do this again, I would change the amount of time I spent on Easel. The reason why I would change it is because my project took to long to finish. (it was pushing the due date more and more). I was on the website Easel creating my design for a while making sure it would work efficiently.
Hastings High School Career and Technical Education Program offers Agriculture, Business Management, Computer Programming, Construction Trades, Culinary Arts, Digital Multimedia, Engineering Design, Finance, Insurance, Marketing. My project connects to the Construction Trades CTE program at Hastings High School. My project ties to construction trades because I constructed my sign.
My project connects to careers in Carpentry because Carpenters deeal with wood and build things with it. I used Hickory as my type of wood to create my sign. I would definitley do a project like this again.
