Project 2 is underway in my BDS 102 class and this project is about finding something of value to you and constructing a vessel for that object. The vessel will be some kind of box. Today in class we got to go down to the Common Shop aka our work shop in the design building, and play with the band saw that we will be using and get acquainted with it, along with meeting the various sanders. Here are some photos of what I did on the band saw today, mostly messing with curved lines, really just trying to follow a line that is on the block.
Cotter, the head hancho in the common shop was beside me and drew a line on my block and said, follow that line. So I tried, I wasn't exactly close to his line, really off actually, but it helped me get to know how the saw works and feels. He gave me a lot of pointers and helped me to understand how it all works and what to do when I start working on my block.
This is where Cotter drew a line and asked me to follow it. I didn't do so well, haha! I'll get better though!
And this is Cotter's line and his cut, following it almost perfectly. He also has more experience but was demonstrating for me.
