Wood Work Projects

macroman

I'm starting to panic now. Wood Work projects & portfolios are meant to be complete by 28th of April. Right?

Well I'm panicing as I haven't even begun my project, portfolio, or anything! And I'm back on the 24th, and only four days to put a spice rack outta me!

And it's not that I don't work, I want to work just my teacher doens't do anything, and we were out of the wood work room until March(from September - March) as it was being refurbished.

I'm not happy about this, I went asking to get timber but told me to go away and help the class a$$holes with their projects and got theirs done ready for varnishing when we come back from Easter holidays.

What will happen if I don't meet the 28th deadline? I will be working my butt off (only two classes :eek: to get it completely done!).

I am bricking it....I can do the theory okay, but the practacal is what worries me...the school don't seem to care what-so-ever

Well seeing as it's the 15th of April with only thirteen days left I'd say your pretty much ****ed. Have you got wood yet?

everything has to be done in school. i will see if i can stay back one evening and get something done. but it's doubtful. we didn't start these projects until March 6!

Back in the day I got a door made for my project (medicine cab) and a table top made for my leavin cert pro!!!! Dont believe all that I no lots of people that done their project at home and nothing was said, thell u mum and dad what the story and get them to have a chat with ur teacher and principle if necessary......

If i had my wood i'd at least get a bit done on it. I will see if I can stay back on wednesday and friday when i go back

Killaqueen!!!

Ehh..don't mean to sound bad but a spice rack? That's first year standard/beginning second year standard so I'd say you'll have no problem with that. I'm making a very complicated childrens chair that folds out into a bench. I've got a week to finish it and I've only done the leg joints so far. I ain't gonna get it finished. Plus I need to do my working drawing, and most of my portfolio (what do you put in it? I only have a couple of BAD drawings).

Yup. I'm screwed. WHY did i pick woodwork?

my woodwork project still needs doors and a drawer but i dont woory coz teacher tells me that the date is only guide line, and that inspectors dont really start comin until near J.C itself, So relax, you'll get it done

macroman

We have been permitted to work on...much to my princepals discression!

I should finish it up in the next week or so, I got my pieces cut, and half of them are trenched. Once it's complete I will get cracking on the Portfolio as We've not gotten them yet

You don't have it bad.
Last Friday my friend was rushing to get his finished as he was behind everyone in the class and slit his hand open with the chisel. :eek:

macroman

That's the last thing he needs, I'm left handed and in January I broke a bone in my hand. And it took a while to recooperate, but it was quite painful during the Mocks...but I made it through!

Hope he's okay and it wasn't too serious.

BlueSpiral

He's ok, it wasn't too bad. But he still is freaking out quite a bit.

macroman

got most done today. needs to dry...i think i used half a cow with the ammount of glue i used . it needs a good sanding, filling, and then finally a varnish. Hopefully I can knock it out in the next two weeks
