24th April

• Tools: chisel, hammer, hold out rule, hand plain, hand router, nail guns
• Safety equipment: ear muffs, safety boots
• Hazards: chisel - incorrect way of using - chiseling towards themselves / hand in front of chisel / chisel not sharp enough

First part of the morning was used to work on our blogs with Steve

 
 using the hand router

Then we went out and finished our oil stone cases
Chiseling out the bottom on an angle starting 35mm in from the ends to a depth of 5mm in the middle
Kept the chisel sharp by sharpening it on the oil stone on a 30 degree angle in a long fig.8 motion
Using the hand plain to finish the top of the case - first I plained the sides, then the ends to required  10mm with the point starting at 35mm

Once finished went on the help Takey and Regan [came to help just at the end, so only put up 1 shelf] that was already cut, so we only had to put it together using the gun and compressed air nail gun. They then had the measurements from the other shelf's so cut the last sheet for the top out, then nailed it to the frame and put it in the shelf
