On Monday i finished off my drawing of the Carry All and then started to get all my timber that we all prepared on Friday and began marking out. Before i started marking out i had to measure the width of the timber and then planed it down to size. basically for the rest of the day i spent marking out because there was alot to do. i had to be very precise because since we are using German Dovetails if onewas out of whack the whole side or ever the whole Carry All could be out. so Paul made sure that we all took our time and to do a good job.
Tuesday we started cutting out and everything was going well. Paul ripped this hell crazy Japanness saw and i had to say it's probbaly the best hand saw i've ever used. it's funny because now Rob wants one so he can pretent to be a street urban nija. Anyway i used the Japanness saw for the rest of the day. we worked in the workshop right up untill lunch and when we got back we went into the libery teamed up and researched industral glues. me and Rob teamed up and researched two part adhesives. Rob decided that we should research arladite and it worked out well. Rob looked up the technical side of the adhesvie such as the chemical make up and i look up how it basically works, how to apply, what to use it on and the safety part of using the adhesive. Afterwards we went back into the workshop untill afternoon smokeo and when we got back we gave our presentations. I've gotta say that me and Rob rulled everyones asses with our presentation. I spoke about what i had found and just the basic use of the adhesive and then Rob came on second and blow everyones ass away with the most intricite detailed talk about the chemical make up of arladite.
Today we spent putting together the Carry All and it was all going very well untill i had to whack on the base. i marked out the base well, cut it out well and it even connected well with the ends but put the whole thing together and there are gaps everywhere. i spent most of today shaving a little off here chizelling off a little there but in the end i was about to explode so i've moved on and cut out the handles. then i used the circular saw to cut out the ends and now all i have to do is to plane it down chizel a hole where the handel gose through, work on the gaps, make a little tray and i'll be done. easier said then done. tomorrow it better be easier.
