I learned a lot from this project since this is my first time using the wood shop and actually constructing something out of wood. How to use the equipment that is available in the wood shop and the amount of time that the glue needs to set before starting to work on the block, all of the little details that I won’t be able to know unless I do the work myself.
Because my box was a simple rectangle with a cut out in the middle of the lied, it should be pretty easy to work on it but I had such a hard time cutting strait lines and constructing a perfect rectangular box. That is why I had to start over and finish constructing the box during two days only.
My first attempt was not successful because I had thin and non-strait cut walls. (I could not find the wood for my fist try in the common shop after I through it in the curt, I was going to add a picture of it in here but I could not).
To have a better constructed box I started with new wood block and a slightly different measurement, I remeasured everything to make sure that I have thicker walls. The biggest challenge is to cut strait line using the band-saw; I did my best using it I did not get perfect cuts but it was defiantly better than the first attempt.
If I had more time to work on it I would make sure to have clean strait lines throughout the entire box.
