This morning we continued on with our drawings of the saw horse. I finished off my plan view and then started labelling the certain parts of the saw horse , which consisted of four parts, the bearer on the top, the spreader inbetween the legs, the legs and the cleats. After this i drew in some dimensions such as the 800mm length of the bearer and the 595mm total height of the saw horse.
After this i moved onto the mathematics of figuring out the actual length of the legs by using the pythagoras thereom. The hypotenuse of the right angled triangle drawn from the diagonals created by the legs on the plan view, worked out to be 606mm long, which was precisely what my line actually measured because i damn good at drawing and mortal kombat 2. It was required that we write down how we came up with the actual lengths of the legs in the 100mm boarder, so i wrote it out with all the steps included.
After lunch we commenced work on our photo stories of a particular power tool. Greg and i worked together on the electic planer. First of all we wrote out a storyboard, with descriptions of the photos we were going to take along with the accompanying text. In all Greg and i had 7 scenes, which were pivotal to conveying the main parts of using an electric planer. We took alot of photos in different positions so later on we could choose the one that appealed to us the most when we are actually going to make our photo story.
I thought today was a productive, easily understood enjoyable day, in which i finished my drawing and worked well through the photo shop planning. I enjoyed the drawing as a subject and found it a good problem solving excersise and use of fine marking hand skills.
The photo shop, although not really releative to carpentry, was very enjoyable and i did learn more about the electric planer such as they contain 2 blades that rotate on a wheel at around 15 to 16 thousand RPM.
