Reflection
Our first practical lesson with Mr Ward was basically him showing us how to make the base for our hotel collage. He first had a plain reasonably thin plank of wood, measured a 10mm distance around the edge of the plank of wood and nailed 12 nails (3 on each side) on the 10mm line all around the edge of the plank of wood, making sure that the nail didn't go all the way through the wood. He then got a long, thick wood block to hold up the base off of the ground. He then glued them into place and nailed all of the nails in fully to keep then tightly in place. The next lesson was then time for Rosy and I to copy what Mr Ward did the previous lesson and make our own bases. We started off very good and we were following the steps perfectly. After we had glued and nailed the legs on we found something had gone wrong. One of the nails we had hammered in went diagonal at the end for some reason and was sticking out of the side. Mr Ward then helped us fix the nail situation and we only have a little bit of time left in the lesson quickly cut off the extra wooding legs that were hanging of the side of the wooden plank and sand down one of the sides. We didn't get to finish that lesson but Rosy and I can definitely finish of sanding in under 2 minutes next lesson if we get to.
