Drill! Sand! Puddy!

We've gotten so much accomplished!

Today during 8th period Max finished drilling together the support system of the bench. During 6th period, our group walked up to Mr. Blake's class to get the second plank of wood for the seat because the first was cut too small. We also spent time taking pictures and talking to Mr. J about what we had to do next. By the end of 6th period, we realized that we were more than three quarters done with the race. However, the last quarter the race will be one of the most difficult because Max and Nicole are leaving for the volleyball state's game for the rest of the week, meaning that we will be two group member less.

Most likely, the last leg of this race against time will be done by me.

Contributing as much as I could to the project, I stayed in during 4th and 2nd period to get as much of it done. But there was one pr

oblem: I had never done wood shop...in my life.

Thankfully, I had Mr. Massad, Mr. J, and Mr. Kondo there to help me.

They gave me screws to replace the faulty ones we had and helped me put in the screws to attach the seat to the support.

I also used the rounder and the electric sander to round the edges so that people wouldn't get cut or get splinters. After, Mr. Massad gave me puddy to use so that I could fill in the holes and cracks on the seat of the bench. After doing all that work, I realized all we have to do next is sand down the puddy and paint the bench! The finish line is finally in sight, and by tomorrow, the bench should be completed!
