I used a ruler to measure and draw lines on a piece of wood. I then used different saws, including a coping saw, to cut out the wood for my footstool project. The coping saw allowed me to make tight turns while cutting. I was happy to learn a new skill but found using the coping saw difficult. Overall, I enjoyed the project and learning how to measure accurately. My next steps are to continue cutting and filing the top panel of the footstool smooth.
