Title:Drawing and Measuring Body Of The Moving Toy

What You Did:
Today I use a pencil to draw the rabbit’s shape on the wood. I use a tri-square to
mark lines across the other end. This tells me where do I draw my rabbit at the
other side. I finished drawing my rabbit’s head and body.

Emotions:
I was really excited to start making my moving toy. Sometimes I really can’t wait
till we enter in the create section.

AOI learning profile:
Today, I learn that we need to draw our moving toy on both sides of the wood. I
also learn that if we draw to small, the small little parts will break easily.

Why?
The reason I need to draw my rabbit on the other end is because we will know
where to cut on both sides.

Pictures and Diagrams:Drawing my rabbit on the hard wood.

Using tri-square to mark out lines.

Changes to my plan:
So far I didn’t make any changes to my plan.

What’s next?
The next thing that I will do is using a coping saw to cut out the shape of the
rabbit’s body. I need to cut out the shape of the rabbit’s leg. I think I will finish all
of this plans.


Title:
Using a coping saw

Emotion:
I was really happy that I learn more skills when I am cutting softwood. I feel
nervous when I think that I am doing the wrong thing.

What I did:
Today, I use a coping saw to cut out the shape of my moving toy’s body. I turned
my moving toy when I am cutting at the lowest part. Other then cutting my
moving toy’s body, I also cut the head of the moving toy.

Why:
I turn my moving toy around when I am cutting the body part. The reason I
turned around is because I’m not cutting the table but I am cutting my moving
toy. The reason that I am using a coping saw instead of a tenon saw is because I
am cutting curved shapes.

Today, I learn that I should lower down the position of my timber. The reason I
do this is because I will break the coping saw’s blade if it is too high. The second
reason is because it will be easier to cut the moving toy.

Pictures and diagram

Changes to my plans:
So far, I didn’t make any changes to my plans.

What’s next?
I need to finish cutting my timber by the next lesson. I need to cut the legs for my
moving toy. The last thing I will do is to draw a cool skateboard on a new timber.
I will finish all this things in the next lesson.


Title:
Learning more skills to use a coping saw

What I did:
For today, I continue using a coping saw to cut the rabbit’s body. I broke the
coping saw twice when I was cutting. I realized that the way I was using a
coping saw wasn’t correct. After that, I changed the way that I used it. I don’t
know why the coping saw broke at the second time when I was using the
correct way. I didn’t pull the coping saw out of the timber when I want to
change the angle of cutting it.

Why:
The reason that we are not supposed to pull the saw out of the timber is
because the blade is very tin.

Emotions:
I was very nervous when I broke the saw. I feel very stressful when I broke
the 2nd blade. The reason I feel very stressful is because I didn’t pull the
coping saw out of the timber and the blade broke.

Today, I learn a lot of skills. The first skill that I learn was learning how to pull
the coping saw out of the timber correctly.

Pictures and diagram:

shapes.

So far I didn’t make any changes to my plans.

Plans:
I will finish cutting the rabbit’s body and I will need to sand all the edges and
make it smooth. I also need to cut out the rabbit’s leg and finally the
skateboard.


Title:
Using Disc sander to cut the rough edge off.

What I Did:
Today I used the flat-headed tool to file all the corners off. I also used Disc
sander to cut off all the rough edges. Before using that machine, I checked all
my safety rules. I wore safety goggles and I started my work. I used garnet
paper to rub the both surfaces. I rubbed it in 1 direction.

Why?
The reason I use the garnet paper to rub only in 1 direction is because I will
rub all the fibers.

AOI Learning Profile:
I should use the garnet paper to rub the where the lines are pointing.

Emotions:
Today was a very interesting day learning design technology. I started
learning more skills in using tools and machines.

Pictures And Diagrams:

Filing the corners using flat file tool

Changes To Plans:

What’s next?

Start drawing my skateboard on a new timber. I’m going to use a tenon saw to
cut my skateboard out.

Date: 8 October 2011

Title:
Using a tenon saw to cut the bottom part of the rabbit’s body

What I did:
Today, I use a tenon saw to cut the bottom part of the rabbit’s body. I used
disc sander to sand the bottom part off, this will make it the bottom part
straight. After sanding my rabbit’s body, I drew a shape of a skateboard on a
new timber.

Why:
The reason I use a tenon saw instead of other saws is because I am cutting a
straight line. If I am cutting curves shapes, I will use coping saw to cut it.

Emotion:
I feel very proud of myself, because I did a lot of things today.

Today, I learn that I should draw my skateboard on the side of the timber. If
we draw anything in the middle of the timber, we will waste a lot of wood.

Pictures And Diagram:

What’s next?
The next thing that I should do is to cut my skateboard and fix all the problems.
I need to start making wheels for my skateboard in the next lesson.

Date:
10 October 2011

Title:
Using a coping saw to cut my skateboard shape

What I did:
Today, I used a coping saw to cut my skateboard. I used the coping saw to
cut the curves and a tenon saw to cut straight line. After finishing cutting it, I
use a disc sander to sand my skateboard. I sand all the rough edges on the
side. I also used garnet paper to run the surface on the skateboard.

Why:
The reason I check safety rules before using disc sander is because, it’s
important or it will be dangerous.
Safety rules:
• Wear safety goggles
• Nothing else is around there
• Wear aprons

I learn that I should draw my skateboard on the side or else I will waste a lot
of wood. We must not waste wood and we should use it properly.

Emotions:
Today it was a really cool day when I did a lot of things in today’s lesson. I
hope that I will do more fun things in the next lesson.

What’s next?
I need to use trimmer router to cut the sharp sides off on my skateboard and
my rabbit. After this, I need to create wheels for my skateboard.

Date:
12 October 2011

Title:
Using trimmer router to cut my skateboard and my rabbit’s
edge off

What I did:
Today, I check all the safety rules and waited for instruction before I used the
trimmer router.After everything is ready, I hold the trimmer router and cut the
edge off. I cut the rabbit and the skateboard’s edge off.

Why:
Safety rules:
•Wear safety goggles
•Never on the trimmer router unless the teacher ask you to
•Apron on
•Got to wait for the trimmer router’s blade to stop spinning before laying it
down

In today’s lesson, I learn that when I am using the trimmer router, we should
cut it in anti clockwise direction.

Emotions:
Today’s lesson was a bit boring, because I waited too long using the trimmer
router.

Pictures And Diagrams:

I didn’t make any changes to my plans.

What’s next?
I need to create 4 wheels for my skateboard in today’s lesson. If there is
enough time, I need combine my wheels and skateboard together.

So far, I didn’t make and changes to my plans.

What’s next?
I need to start making wheels using a machine. I need to draw markings on
my skateboard and start drilling my wheels into the skateboard.

Date:
16 October 2011

Title:
Drawing 4 wheels on a timber

What I Did:
Today, I used a pencil to draw 4 wheels on a new timber. I used a timber that
people had used to create wheels to draw my wheels. I chose timbers that
have big wheels on it, because I need big wheels on a skateboard. I drew all
my wheels at the same size.

Why:
The reason I drew all the wheels at the same size is because I want the
movement of the skateboard to be smooth.

Emotions:
Today, there wasn’t enough time to complete my plans in 1 period. I feel very
sad and frustrating whenever I can’t complete anything. I feel like rushing and
finishing all the plans I have in today’s lesson.

Pictures and diagrams:

What’s next?
I need to make wheels using the machine. I also need to drill my wheels into
the skateboard.

Date:

Title:
Using pedestrian drill to make wheels

What I did:
Today, I used the pedestrian drill to make wheels. I wore safety goggles and I
clamped my timber tightly to the table. I on the green button to start and I pull
down the thing slowly. When it is drill halfway, I turn the timber around and
start making the other side. I repeat these steps 3 times to make 4 wheels.
After making all the wheels, I used garnet paper to sand the wheels.

Why:

The reason I ask a teacher to watch me when I am using the pedestal drill is
because this is my first time using it. This is a more safety way to use the
machine. I used garnet paper to sand my wheels because the wheels can’t
roll if there are sharp edges around the wheels.

Today was a very special day; I finally know how to use the pedestrian drill
properly. This was my first time using the pedestrian drill and I learnt a lot of
experience when I am using it.

Emotions:
Today I used a very scary machine, which is the pedestrian drill. I feel very
nervous when I am using because I’m scared that I will break the drill. It was
exciting when I learn something new, but I am very serious when I am using it.

Title:
Drill holes in my skateboard for my wheels using pedestal drill

What I did:
Today, I continue to sand my wheels using garnet paper. After sanding, I took
my skateboard and drill 2 holes on the skateboard for my wheels. I used
pedestal drill-to-drill holes in my skateboard. I cut a stick using a tenon saw for
my wheels.

Why:
Safety rules when you are using the pedestal drill
• Wear safety goggles
• Wear apron
• Hold on the clamp when you are drilling

• Do not drill it too fast
• Wait for teacher’s instruction before you turn on

Emotions:
Today I feel very comfortable when I am using the pedestal drill, because I
learn a lot of tiny experience when I am using it the last time. It found that it is
really relaxing when I am using it. Nothing happen if I drill it slowly.

Title:
Drill holes in my wheels and the skateboard using pedestal drill

What I did:
Today, I use a tenon saw to cut the stick for my wheels. I used the pedestal
drill to drill holes in my wheels and my skateboard. I drill 2 holes in the middle
of the skateboard and 1 hole in the middle in each wheel.

Why:
Safety rules while using pedestal drill:
- Wear safety goggles
- Wear apron
- Wait for instructions
- Drill it slowly

Emotions:
Today, It was a good day to learn a lot of interesting stuff. I enjoy a lot when I
know how to use the pedestal drill. I finish all my plans in time and I feel proud
of myself.

Title:
Cutting the stick shorter with a tenon saw

What I did:
Today, I cut the stick with a tenon saw to make it shorter. It’s too long for my
wheels. I drill 4 holes in my skateboard so that it will be ready to screw 4
screws in my skateboard after I paint it.

Why:
The reason that I should paint everything first before I joined everything
together is because some parts need to be painted before joining everything
together.

Emotions:

Today, It was a great day to learn a lot of interesting stuff. I am glad that I am
up to the painting stage. It is fun when I am painting beautiful colors on my
moving toy.

Drilling holes in my skateboard

Today I decided that I should change 1 of my plans. Instead of painting my
wheels brown, I need to paint it yellow. The reason for me painting it yellow is
because there isn’t blue in the box.

What’s Next?
I need to continue painting my 4 wheels and I need to let it dry up. I need to
paint my skateboard and after that I need to paint my rabbit.

Date:
31 October 2011

Title:
Painting my wheels and skateboard with beautiful colors

What I did:
Today, I grab a small brush, cardboard, painting pallet, paint, and set
everything up. I paint my wheels with yellow color. I let my wheels dry after I
finished painting my wheels. I use the color black, to paint my skateboard.

Why?
The reason I should paint the edges first before painting the surfaces it
because we should finish the hardest part first.

Emotions:

Today, I’m glad that I’m up to the painting stage. I can’t wait to see how is my
moving toy.

Painting my wheels yellow

Painting my skateboard black

So far, I changed some of my plans. I painted my wheels yellow instead of
brown. The reason I painted my wheels to yellow is because there isn’t brown
in the box.

What’s next?
I need to sand my skateboard using garnet paper and continue painting it
again. I need to repeat this a lot of time. After that, I need to start painting my
rabbit.

Date:
6 November 2011

Title:
Sanding skateboard and paint it again

What I did:
Today, I sand all my parts using different kinds of garnet paper. I used 180 to
sand my skateboard. I used 360 to make my skateboard smoother. After that,
I grab paintbrush, pallet, and cardboard, paint. I set everything up and I
started painting my skateboard black. I let my skateboard to dry and I use
garnet paper to sand my rabbit.

Why:

The reason I painted the sides on the skateboard first it is because the sides
is the hardest part to paint. We should always complete the hardest part first
and then the easiest part.

AOI learner profile:
Today, I learnt to use different kinds of garnet paper to sand my skateboard. I
can use 180 first and then 360. This will make my skateboard smoother.

Emotions:
Today, It was a really relaxing day because I have a lot of fun when I am
painting my skateboard. I feel a bit bored when I heardthat I need to sand and
paint my skateboard 4 times.

Title:
Sanding my skateboard with different grids of garnet paper

What I did:
Today, I used 180 to sand my skateboard. After that, I used 360 to sand my
skateboard. This process actually works because I did tried touching my
skateboard’s surface before I use 360. I painted black on the sides of my
skateboard and the surfaces. I also sand my wheels using 180 and after that I
painted my wheels using yellow paint.

Why?
The reason repeats the sanding and painting process it’s because the moving
toy will be really smooth.

Emotions:
Today was a really great day because we have 2 periods and I manage to
complete all my plans. I was glad that I just need to repeat the process 2 more
times and I am done with my skateboard.

my wheels using 360 grid garnet paper. I paint my wheels and my skateboard.
After that, I paint my rabbit using white paint. I paint the body of the rabbit
white.

Why?
The reason I didn’t paint my rabbit’s ear white it’s because I am painting other
colors at the ears. The reason I paint before I drill 2 holes in my rabbit is
because I need to set everything up before I drill and put the 2 eyes in my
rabbit.

Emotions:
I was glad that I complete my plans today. Today was a great day because
we have 2 periods of design technology to finish our plans. I feel a little bit of
bored when I am waiting for the paint to dry.

my rabbit using white color on the sides. After that, I painted my rabbit using
white color on both sides. I sanded the sides of my rabbit after my rabbit is dry.

Why:
The reason I paint the sides of my rabbit first before I paint the surfaces it’s
because we should always complete the hardest part first and then the
easiest part.

Emotions:
Today wasn’t a really lucky day because we only have1 period for design
technology, but it was good that I completed all my plans.I feel a bit bored
whenever I repeat the sanding and painting process.
