Title: Making four feet
What did I do?
When I got into the workshop, I got a piece of wood to
make four feet to put it under my base. At first, I began
to measure and mark out four feet by using compass
and a pencil. I measured the radius by 1.5 cm and started to make four round circles. When I was done
with measuring and marking the feet, I took out the Picture 1: Picture of me using jigsaw to cut
jigsaw to cut the circles. By clamping with the clamp, the circles
the wood didn't mover so it was easy for me to cut them
with the jigsaw. However, since all of the circles were
so small, I just had to cut them into squares. When four
feet were cut by the jigsaw, I used the sand disk to
sand out the part that I didn't need. It took quite a long
time for me to finish sanding the feet. After that, I chose
a proper drill bit to drill on the feet. Due to the fact that
the feet were small, I had to use pedestal drill to drill the
holes. I also drilled on the base by using thinner drill bit
using the cordless drill. Then, I chose the proper size of
the screws to screw the feet on the base. By using the screwdriver, I was able to put the screws through
the hole that I have drilled on the feet.

I could see some changes in the gantt chart. I was
to drill the hole on the foot
going ahead of the timeline that I have predicted.

During this lesson, I was very happy that I am done with putting all of the parts together. Now, I can
begin the stage of painting, which I have been waiting for so long time.
Learner Profile & AOI
In this lesson, I think I was well balanced. This is because I could balance and manage the time well. I
used the double period finish making the four feet that were needed so that the base could stand a bit
higher. Besides, I think this was related to human ingenuity because I was continuing to create parts for
my project.
