Thursday, September 27

Thank you to Mr. Winn for teaching for me today.

As a reminder: We are in the Design Phase of the toy project. In this phase you need to: 
A) develop at least five (5) sketches of different possible projects
B) Choose a project and get feedback from Mr. Zartler 
C) Develop three (3) different scale views of the project.

Each of these is a Note Book Assignment

Today you will watch an inspirational and instructional video
and
Use a graphic organizer to take notes on Safer Band Saw Operations
if time permits, you can work on the sketches, or do more research by looking at the books I have put out, or searching for information on whirlygigs, etc.




The Wood Wright's Shop is a television show with a long history. Roy Underhill has written a number of books, and the show has been running about 30 years. Roy focuses on hand tool work and the methods of wood working before electricity was available. While we may have machines to do many things that took longer to do by hand, what he demonstrates is top notch woodworking, and shows ways YOU can do amazing things with wood without expensive machines.

Today I'd like you to watch an episode that features him making moving "toys".  https://www.pbs.org/video/the-woodwrights-shop-secrets-of-the-whirlygig/ 


After watching the video please take five minutes to write down any questions or curiosities that come from watching; any observations you made, and to sketch any new ideas you might have for your project from the video. You might consider what did he do that might apply to other building activities? Were there general ideas that apply to other kinds of projects. I'll go over any thoughts with you next class.
