The document is a process journal from a woodworking workshop on January 21, 2011. It details the processes used to trim and cut a photo frame, including using a coping saw, file, disk sander, and drill. Diagrams show the tools used to smooth the inside and outside edges. The student reflected on using principled and communication skills in their work, and were satisfied with progress made in further developing their photo frame project.

Trimming
the
photoframe
Today,
as
same
as
every
workshop,
I
put
on
the
apron
to
keep
my
body
clean
from
dust
and
wore
hard
shoes
to
protect
my
feet
from
sharp
tools.
I
then
started
to
trim
both
of
the
outside
and
the
inside
of
the
photoframe.
At
first,
I
used
a
flat
head
file
to
trim
the
inner
part
of
the
photoframe
(See
figure
1).
As
I
cut
it
using
a
coping
saw,
the
surface
was
very
rough.
I
should
remove
those
sharp
edges
then
began
working
with
a
pedestal
drill
because
this
was
more
effective
in
trimming.
Next,
I
used
a
disk
sander
to
trim
the
outside
of
the
phoroframe.
I
should
above
the
dangerous
zone
where
X
was
marked
(See
figure
2).
It
was
difficult
to
trim
because
the
photoframe
was
curved.
Figure
1:
The
inside
of
the
photoframe
had
bumpy
surface
as
I
used
a
coping
saw
to
cut.
In
the
photograph,
I
was
trimming
there
with
a
flat
head
file.
Figure
2:
The
outside
of
the
photoframe
was
rough
as
I
cut
it
with
a
coping
saw.
In
the
image,
I
was
trimming
there
with
a
disk
sander.

Cutting
the
photoframe
Secondly,
after
four
holes
were
drilled
on
the
wood,
I
stick
the
wood
to
the
bench
vice
at
the
right
angle
that
I
could
easily
cut
the
curved
part
using
a
coping
saw.
I
then
started
to
cut
the
inner
section
with
a
coping
saw
(See
figure
2).
The
coping
saw
was
often
used
to
cut
the
curved
part.
I
first
pushed
the
coping
saw
with
my
shoulder
and
took
the
blade
out.
I
put
the
blade
into
one
hole
and
cut.
Because
the
coping
saw
was
very
hard
to
control,
there
were
too
many
bumpy
spaces
on
the
wood.
Next
class,
I
had
to
file
and
make
the
surface
smooth.

I
put
the
blade
of
the
coping
saw
into
the
holes.
In
the
photograph,
I
was
cutting
the
inner
part
of
the
photoframe
with
a
coping
saw.

Learner
Profile
Today
I
was
principled
during
the
workshop.
As
I
had
completed
making
one
photoframe,
I
knew
what
I
should
do
to
create
another
photoframe.
I
didn’t
waste
my
time
to
wait
the
teacher’s
help,
and
therefore,
I
could
complete
the
work
faster.
In
addition,
I
was
a
communicator.
I
was
able
to
ask
for
teacher’s
help
when
I
had
a
difficulty
with
taking
the
blade
out
and
putting
it
inside
of
the
holes.
-‐
Emotion
I
was
satisfied
with
today’s
process.
As
I
described
above,
I
knew
what
process
I
required
to
follow.
As
a
result,
I
had
done
most
of
the
process
of
creating
another
photoframe.
Next
class,
I
could
complete
creating
all
three
photoframes.
This
made
me
move
on
to
making
the
backboard
and
therefore,
I
thought
that
today’s
work
was
successful.
