Week 6 Day 16

1st 2nd & 3rd block :
In the workshop nearly the whole day trying to finish the saw stool.
A saw stool is also called a saw horse. It has four legs, which can be made of timber or pressed metal. The head is made of timber.
A saw stool is normally used as a bench to hold timber, whilst it's being sawn.
For the brace we had to mark fifty in and then switch it around and mark fifty again then marked the the points together and did the same to the other side. Cut it with the crosscut saw. Then put the 2 pieces together and nail it to hold together while you plane on the vice. Check to see if the surface is square using a try square and hold it against the light and if you see a gap then its not. Then flip the saw stool upside down and measure the angle at the back of the cleat with a sliding bevel and then mark that against the brace mark each brace 1 and 2 because the angles might be different. After marking i clamped it to the table with a g clamp then cutted it with a tenon saw so i can get an smooth finish.
