THE DAY WE FELT LIKE REAL BIULDERS "THE DAY WE GET OUR TOOLS"

On monday we got our tools. We got a tool belt and all the tools we needed in our carpentry class. It felt like christmass hahaha mean day .. We also got to use some of our tools on our drawing boards . Jarryd got his class to teach us how to make a draw board and we also had to wright down the steps of making a draw board. And then at the end of the day we went into a class room and we got given names of power tools and we had to wright the name of the tool and their function.
DROP SAW
Used for cutting wood to shape or to length.
Some saftey issues that would accured while using this power tool is that you could cut youur fingers of or you could get dust in your eyes and a piece of wood could repel back into you.

JIGSAW
Used for cutting difficult cuts in the wood. shape cuts.

saftey hazards are that you can cut your finger off. you could cut a wire and you can even loose controll.

THE FIRST DAY ON THE JOB

The first day at M.I.T was really great. I started the day of really shy, but then started opening up and talking more to my class mates and tutors. One of the things we did were playing games, like estimating lengths with out a measuring tape, then seeing witch team got the closes to the required measurements. then there was another game we played that had us throwing wooden hammers towards one of the markers in the ground and who ever got the closest won, then my favorite game was the hammering game because i won the last round haha. and as we played that game we also learnt the different types of nails their are and how they work in different ways. then the last game we had as a class wasn't about speed it was about perfection, so yeah my team lost hahaha. then our classes got together and we had to choose the 4 people from each class and they had to go head to head with the other three classes, we came 2nd hahaha 2nd to last haha but yeah the day was really cool. a great way to start of the course.
