Thursday May 2nd, 2019

I woke up at around 9:30 and got ready to go to the wood-shop in order to be there at 10. When David and I got to the wood-shop, we started the day by continuing our work on the cutting boards. We glued together the pieces and then we sanded the cutting boards that already got glued together. After we finished more cutting boards, we went to lunch. We came back to the wood-shop around 1:15 and worked on some more cutting boards, and we also picked out a plan for the jewelry box we are going to make. After we picked out the plan for the jewelry box, we went to our sports and had practice. At the end of the day, David and I met up to talk about the charity we were going to donate the money too. We came to a conclusion, with the help of David's mom, and decided that we were going to donate the money to a charity that makes bullet proof vests for dogs that are in the forces.

1st Day Senior Project

Monday, April 29th --- 4 Hours I woke up at around 8:30 and freaked out because I thought I slept through my first class. It's hard getting used to the whole process of waking up at a different time, maybe eating at different times, working at different times, etc. But, I managed to do everything I wanted to do today. David Netburn and I drove to Goosebay Sawmill & Lumber. When we walked into the store the first thing we saw was at least a hundred different rows of wood. I was excited because it was my first time buying wood for something that I would end up building. We bought around 215 dollars of wood, but the cashier gave us 15 dollars off because we were with Proctor. After we got back to campus, David and I went over our plan for the rest of the week and decided what prices we would sell our cutting boards for. We came up with a price which we thought wasn't too high, but high enough to make some profit, still with all the money going to charity. Overall, I thought

Tuesday May 7th, 2019: 7 hours

Tuesday May 7th, 2019 Today was a tiring day, there is no other way to describe it. Netburn and I woke up and what to the shop at around 9:15. We spent the whole day working on the jewelry boxes. I did not expect these jewelry boxes to take up so much time and be so tedious work. We have to sand a lot of wood and the measurements need to be perfect in order for the box to fit together well. I messed up the measurements about 3 different times on the same piece of wood because I was so tired I couldn't think straight. I spent the whole day trying to put the drawers together while Netburn spent the whole day sanding the little pieces of the box by hand. We even went to extra help to try and finish before the next day but we really underestimated the time it would take to complete these boxes.

Weekly Reflection 1

Week 1 This week was not really what I expected it was going to be. I didn’t expect to buy our own wood at all, which actually makes the experience so much better. That was my first learning experience from the week. I learned that you pay for the word per foot, and that there are a lot more species of wood than I originally thought. I’ve been having a pretty good time working in the woodshop so far. I like it because I can listen to music and make cool things out of wood for as long as I want. I also like it because I get to hang out with my best friend David Netburn all day long. However, there have been some moments where I felt a little stressed because the plan changed and we started to improvise. But now, I feel good about our improvisations in response to the sudden change in plans. I feel good because we made some pretty cool looking cutting boards. Another surprise that wasn’t expected, was that we actually got some offers from people asking for specific things. I thought
