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.
