Term 3 Week 4

This week I have been doing full practical. On Monday Anand, Sam and I cut out our board shapes. Firstly Terry cut out Sam's for him on the band-saw, I don't know why exactly. Next I cut out my board. It took me a while as my board had lots of curves which needed to be cut. After me Anand cut his board out. I helped him cut out the curved nose of his board. When cutting out our boards we had to leave a small gap between where we cut and the intended line of the board shape. This was so that if we made small mistakes in cutting it wouldn't affect the final result. On Wednesday I started to sand down my board edges to make them smooth. I managed to get about halve my edges sanded smooth. On Thursday I also was sanding my board edges. I did not finish as I had to fix up a chip in my board. Once I have smoothed down the edges I will have to round them to prevent further chipping of the ply when I use the board. Next week I expect to update my blog and calender on Monday, and finish sanding my board over Wednesday and Thursday. Once I've finished sanding I believe I will start creating vinyls for my oard artwork.
