Day 3 Nick D.

Reflection: The first day was not the most fun but it was so important. That day we learned how to find the area and perimiter of a polygon. Then the ceo of high tech high caqme in who had been a carpenter for 30 years. He really helped me understand more about carpentry, the grain which is the way the lines are going. He tought us the important of saftey and he helped me a lot. We then went over some more saftey rules, which also cleared a few questions and then we did some more math, fractions, are, perimiter... The next day was more fun than the last day, we got our wood which was really exciting, it did not look like a lot but once we got the wood seperated adn then we measured the hight, the width, and the length. When we measured our group worked very good, we each assigned ourselves jobs and measured, which was pretty fun. Then we went back inside and then each team got some practice wood
(which meant cutting!!!)so we measured a few angles about were we where going to cut. After we made the angles (fun) we got to go outside were we each set up our wood on the benches and we learned how to use the handsaw and about saftey. We then finnaly started to cut which was so fun to feel the saw in your hand and cutting through the wood. It was hard to cut and it was grueling but it was so fun. The next day (today) was so fun!!!!!! We went down to the wood after we learned what we had to measure and we started measuring what we were supposed to measure (took so long) but it was very important that we were very presice so that everything went together. Once we finnished measuring and got it checked we finnaly got to use the mitre saw that could cut wood in a couple of seconds. It was so awesome to have that mitre saw in your hand and the power. But before we could use the mitre saw we had to be very safe. The best ppart of cutting the wood was cutting the green wood because it was so big and you had to cut really deep and then push forward and it was cut and it was so cool to cut through this huge piece of wood. I have learned more about carpentry in these three days then in my whole life. These 3 days have been so awesome.
