Tech @ Tamaki College

Today we got a new teacher named Mr. Thomas. Mr. Thomas helped a lot of us get our work close to complete. at tech we worked on adding our parts of our design on, For me, I am finishing off the insides of my Jeep. Once the insides of the Jeep is complete I can move onto the wheels. After the wheels I finish off by doing the little lights on the front of the Jeep and the back of the Jeep.

Today we had our first session of Tech. For tech we have Mr Grundy again and are doing wood work again. We are working on our designs and Marking out our items. I am up to making the front of my Jeep. I have completed doing the sides of the Jeep. I need to mark out the front part of the car so that I can cut it and place it on the design. We also got to write out the process of our Designs. This was apart of our paper work. Next week I will be finishing off the paper work, the  paper work will be checked by Mr. Grundy and he will give us marks for what we wrote.

This week Friday the Yr 7's did Tech with Mr. Grundy. We are all working on sawing our designs and making joints. I have made a mistake where my piece of wood is loose in my joint. I sawed the joint to far apart. I am working on trying to make my joint flat, I will need to rather get a new piece of wood or get my joint glued in. I used the Vice to use the wood chisel, I used the Mallet to help me push the Wood Chisel into my joint. I then got the help of Mr. Grundy and he cut up my small wood piece and made it circular square. I got to sand the spiky parts on my wood that was cut so that it wasn't going to give me a splinter. I will be finalising my work in the next 2 weeks. Tech was great this week, I can't wait to add more parts onto my design.
