17/5/12
Today I was very excited as it was the first day I could go into the workshop. Last lesson I wasn't there because I was sick and the lesson before that I didn't have my layers so I was a bit behind everybody else. As we went into the workshop we put on aprons and safety goggles for safety. Today I got my first layer of my teddy bear clock done. I first had to find a piece of wood that fit my first layer. Once I did that, I stuck the first paper layer onto the piece of wood with some of glue. I couldn't use too much glue otherwise I wouldn't be able to take the paper off later on. Mr Andrews then cut out my first layer of wood using a band saw. Everyone also learnt how to use a hot glue gun because some people were up to using it. You should never put it down on it's side because otherwise glue can get stuck and the glue won't come out. I didn't have enough time to smoothen the edges of my wood but that is what I will do next week.
