Title: Drawing and Measuring Body Of The Moving Toy

What You Did: Today I use a pencil to draw the rabbit’s shape on the wood. I use a tri-square to mark lines across the other end. This tells me where do I draw my rabbit at the other side. I finished drawing my rabbit’s head and body.

Emotions:I was really excited to start making my moving toy. Sometimes I really can’t wait till we enter in the create section.

AOI learning profile:Today, I learn that we need to draw our moving toy on both sides of the wood. I also learn that if we draw to small, the small little parts will break easily.

Why? The reason I need to draw my rabbit on the other end is because we will know where to cut on both sides.

Pictures and Diagrams: Drawing my rabbit on the hard wood.

Using tri-square to mark out lines.

Changes to my plan:So far I didn’t make any changes to my plan.

What’s next?The next thing that I will do is using a coping saw to cut out the shape of the rabbit’s body. I need to cut out the shape of the rabbit’s leg. I think I will finish all of this plans.

Date: 25 September 2011

Title: Using a coping saw

Emotion:I was really happy that I learn more skills when I am cutting softwood. I feel nervous when I think that I am doing the wrong thing.

What I did: Today, I use a coping saw to cut out the shape of my moving toy’s body. I turned my moving toy when I am cutting at the lowest part. Other then cutting my moving toy’s body, I also cut the head of the moving toy.

Why:I turn my moving toy around when I am cutting the body part. The reason I turned around is because I’m not cutting the table but I am cutting my moving toy. The reason that I am using a coping saw instead of a tenon saw is because I am cutting curved shapes.

AOI learning profile:Today, I learn that I should lower down the position of my timber. The reason I do this is because I will break the coping saw’s blade if it is too high. The second reason is because it will be easier to cut the moving toy.

Changes to my plans:

So far, I didn’t make any changes to my plans.

What’s next?I need to finish cutting my timber by the next lesson. I need to cut the legs for my moving toy. The last thing I will do is to draw a cool skateboard on a new timber. I will finish all this things in the next lesson.


Title: Learning more skills to use a coping saw

What I did: For today, I continue using a coping saw to cut the rabbit’s body. I broke the coping saw twice when I was cutting. I realized that the way I was using a coping saw wasn’t correct. After that, I changed the way that I used it. I don’t know why the coping saw broke at the second time when I was using the correct way. I didn’t pull the coping saw out of the timber when I want to change the angle of cutting it.

Why: The reason that we are not supposed to pull the saw out of the timber is because the blade is very tin.

Emotions: I was very nervous when I broke the saw. I feel very stressful when I broke the 2nd blade. The reason I feel very stressful is because I didn’t pull the coping saw out of the timber and the blade broke.

AOI learning profile:Today, I learn a lot of skills. The first skill that I learn was learning how to pull the coping saw out of the timber correctly.

Pictures and diagram:Using a coping saw to cut the rabbit’s body. Coping saw are use to cut curve shapes.

Changes to my plans: So far I didn’t make any changes to my plans.

Plans:I will finish cutting the rabbit’s body and I will need to sand all the edges and make it smooth. I also need to cut out the rabbit’s leg and finally the skateboard.


Title:

Using Disc sander to cut the rough edge off.

What I Did: Today I used the flat-headed tool to file all the corners off. I also used Disc sander to cut off all the rough edges. Before using that machine, I checked all my safety rules. I wore safety goggles and I started my work. I used garnet paper to rub the both surfaces. I rubbed it in 1 direction.

Why?The reason I use the garnet paper to rub only in 1 direction is because I will rub all the fibers.

AOI Learning Profile:I should use the garnet paper to rub the where the lines are pointing.

Emotions: Today was a very interesting day learning design technology. I started learning more skills in using tools and machines.

Pictures And Diagrams:

Filing the corners using flat file tool

Changes To Plans: So far, I didn’t make any changes to my plans.

What’s next? Start drawing my skateboard on a new timber. I’m going to use a tenon saw to cut my skateboard out.

Date: 8 October 2011

Title: Using a tenon saw to cut the bottom part of the rabbit’s body

What I did: Today, I use a tenon saw to cut the bottom part of the rabbit’s body. I used disc sander to sand the bottom part off, this will make it the bottom part straight. After sanding my rabbit’s body, I drew a shape of a skateboard on a new timber.

Why: The reason I use a tenon saw instead of other saws is because I am cutting a straight line. If I am cutting curves shapes, I will use coping saw to cut it.

Emotion: I feel very proud of myself, because I did a lot of things today.

AOI learning profile:Today, I learn that I should draw my skateboard on the side of the timber. If we draw anything in the middle of the timber, we will waste a lot of wood.

Changes to my plans: So far, I didn’t make any changes to my plans.

What’s next?The next thing that I should do is to cut my skateboard and fix all the problems. I need to start making wheels for my skateboard in the next lesson.


Title: Using a coping saw to cut my skateboard shape

What I did: Today, I used a coping saw to cut my skateboard. I used the coping saw to cut the curves and a tenon saw to cut straight line. After finishing cutting it, I use a disc sander to sand my skateboard. I sand all the rough edges on the side. I also used garnet paper to run the surface on the skateboard.

Why: The reason I check safety rules before using disc sander is because, it’s important or it will be dangerous. Safety rules: • Wear safety goggles • Nothing else is around there• Wear aprons

AOI Learning Profile: I learn that I should draw my skateboard on the side or else I will waste a lot of wood. We must not waste wood and we should use it properly.

Emotions: Today it was a really cool day when I did a lot of things in today’s lesson. I hope that I will do more fun things in the next lesson.

Date:

12 October 2011

Title: Using trimmer router to cut my skateboard and my rabbit’s edge off

What I did: Today, I check all the safety rules and waited for instruction before I used the trimmer router. After everything is ready, I hold the trimmer router and cut the edge off. I cut the rabbit and the skateboard’s edge off.

Why: Safety rules: •Wear safety goggles•Never on the trimmer router unless the teacher ask you to•Apron on •Got to wait for the trimmer router’s blade to stop spinning before laying it down

AOI Learning Profile: In today’s lesson, I learn that when I am using the trimmer router, we should cut it in anti clockwise direction.

Emotions: Today’s lesson was a bit boring, because I waited too long using the trimmer router.

Pictures And Diagrams:

What’s next? I need to start making wheels using a machine. I need to draw markings on my skateboard and start drilling my wheels into the skateboard.


Title: Drawing 4 wheels on a timber

What I Did: Today, I used a pencil to draw 4 wheels on a new timber. I used a timber that people had used to create wheels to draw my wheels. I chose timbers that have big wheels on it, because I need big wheels on a skateboard. I drew all my wheels at the same size.

Why:The reason I drew all the wheels at the same size is because I want the movement of the skateboard to be smooth.

Emotions: Today, there wasn’t enough time to complete my plans in 1 period. I feel very sad and frustrating whenever I can’t complete anything. I feel like rushing and finishing all the plans I have in today’s lesson.

Pictures and diagrams:

Changes to my plans:So far, I didn’t make any changes to my plans.

What’s next? I need to make wheels using the machine. I also need to drill my wheels into the skateboard.


Title: Using pedestrian drill to make wheels

What I did:Today, I used the pedestrian drill to make wheels. I wore safety goggles and I clamped my timber tightly to the table. I on the green button to start and I pull down the thing slowly. When it is drill halfway, I turn the timber around and start making the other side. I repeat these steps 3 times to make 4 wheels. After making all the wheels, I used garnet paper to sand the wheels.

Why: The reason I ask a teacher to watch me when I am using the pedestal drill is because this is my first time using it. This is a more safety way to use the

machine. I used garnet paper to sand my wheels because the wheels can’t roll if there are sharp edges around the wheels.

AOI learning profile: Today was a very special day; I finally know how to use the pedestrian drill properly. This was my first time using the pedestrian drill and I learnt a lot of experience when I am using it.

Emotions: Today I used a very scary machine, which is the pedestrian drill. I feel very nervous when I am using because I’m scared that I will break the drill. It was exciting when I learn something new, but I am very serious when I am using it.

Title: Drill holes in my skateboard for my wheels using pedestal drill

What I did: Today, I continue to sand my wheels using garnet paper. After sanding, I took my skateboard and drill 2 holes on the skateboard for my wheels. I used pedestal drill-to-drill holes in my skateboard. I cut a stick using a tenon saw for my wheels.

Why:Safety rules when you are using the pedestal drill• Wear safety goggles• Wear apron • Hold on the clamp when you are drilling • Do not drill it too fast• Wait for teacher’s instruction before you turn on

Emotions:

Today I feel very comfortable when I am using the pedestal drill, because I learn a lot of tiny experience when I am using it the last time. It found that it is really relaxing when I am using it. Nothing happen if I drill it slowly.
