Term 1 week 7

In week 7
I imprinted the X and O's on the 9 blocks, I did this by heating up a piece of metal with either a X or O on it and then I pressed down the heated metal onto the wooden block.
Finally I coated all my bits of wood with oil varnish and waited for it to dry

Term 1 Week 4/5

In week 4

I started marking out the frame for the X's and O's box.

I Cut out the finger joints for the 4 pieces of wood with a tenon saw, chisel and mallet.

I also cut out the housed joints as you can see below.

In week 5

I glued all of the finger joints together.

I also glued and nailed the base on to give it more support since the finger joints were loose.

When the glue dried I marked out 4 new pieces of wood to go into the housed joints.

I then cut out the marked joints with a tenon saw, chisel and mallet.
