This term in Woodwork, Mr Thompson taught us how to make a finger joint with wood. After learning how to perfect a finger joint, our first project was set to be finished by the end of the term. We were to apply what we'd learnt (of how to make a finger joint) into making a serving tray. After completing our project we are to give it to someone who it would be useful to (as a gift).
The hardest part for me whilst proceeding with my project was, getting the joints align so that they'd fit together tightly. One problem that I came across was; when I put each end together they were quite loose, though this issue was resolved after it was glued together and nailed in. What I enjoyed the most about this project though was actually sawing the wood and seeing the outcome of my project by the end.
