I used a Saw, Square, Ruler, Bench hook, to make a full size working drawing or my Jeep because then I can use the measurements on the paper to help me measure the actual Jeep. I used a pencil to copy the measurements from my drawing onto the wood, also to help me cut it. I marked a square line at 90o across, and using a square. I cut off the first piece of wood using a saw. I then marked out where the joint was going to go on the bigger piece of wood, and I checked with Mr Grundy if the joint measurement was right, and he approved. Then I cut both of the sides using a saw. After that, I missed one day of Tech for an important Family thing, and then it was the holiday's, then it was the first week of term 3, and then, I think that Tamaki College had a teacher parent day, so there was no tech. But now it's this week, and I'm back at Tech, so I am working more on my project/Jeep, and i am hoping to get it done/finished before the end of the lesson's.
I am a Year 8 learner in Room 5 at Pt England School in Auckland, NZ. My teacher is Mrs Ilaoa.

Hard Materials at Tech!
This is the new group that I am in for tech! It is called (as you may know from the title,) Hard Materials. In hard Materials, I am making a Jeep. Here is the reason why. I chose to make a Jeep for my Sister. This is the best choice because out of all the choices I had, the Jeep stood out to me. It will be used however my Sister wants it to be used, in my home. I might need to consider making it stable, to make sure that it can't fall over if it's on a high table or maybe something tall.

Walt: learning and creating new things.

Description:
Today is week 2 of tech, and today we got a big piece of fabric and we measured, cut and created pillow slips. Hopefully the pillow slips that we made will soon be pillows.
