The Weekend

This weekend was quite busy in terms of WISE projects.

Here is the workspace, completely clean:

This is a planer, used to slope edges. I used this to practice making a scarph joint, the type of joint I will need to connect my pieces together. I think I need to find a more efficient way to do this. 

This is the part of the wood I practiced on. See the slope?

Then my dad showed my how to use this jigsaw-which is probably the coolest tool I've used so far. 

I practiced cutting some curved and straight edges. 

Also this weekend, I went looking for resin. Agway referred me to Ithaca Plastics, which was closed, as was the Sailing Center, but they'll be open this week.
