                                                  THURSDAY  27 FEBRUARY 2014

Today was also a very productive lesson. My main aim for today was to finish the grove joints and try to joint my box together to see if everything fits in place! Fortunately I was second on the scroll saw and when it was my turn I quickly cut what I was supposed to, using the scroll saw. The smaller part was to be removed using the wooden hammer and a chisel. This took only about 10-15 minutes. Then I put together all my pieces and realized that the grove joints does not fit in properly and needed to be cut a little. I did that as soon and as accurate as possible! Unfortunately, the grove joints were too small now! If I had concentrated a little more, then I am sure I could have done a much better job. This happened because I was a little too hyper and excited! I feel very bad now! But it is not very bad but not very good too! After fitting it at showing it to sir, I went and helped others for the rest of the time. I helped people like Maryam, Ramyz, Asma, Paul, Akil and Yavan! This was a completely different experience. I enjoyed it but some people who needed help using the scroll, annoyed me a lot  at the same time! They told me to show them how to cut the wood accurately and when i did it, they go away and start doing their own things. I was not there to do their work for them, I was there to show and help them! Around 10 minuted before the lesson ended, I went and sat outside with Saumya! She really liked my box and appreciated it a lot! I was happy about that and felt very proud of myself. She also explained the mistakes I made and how I can still improve on them! The comments and the suggestions were helpful and it was really nice of her to do so! For the weekend, I am going to sand the wood piece, collect the saw dust, stick the box, paint it and stuff sawdust in the empty spaces!
