With only a few days left to go with this project, it is important that we all give 100% in order to be ready for presentation on Tuesday 14th December...
Today in the workshop Cara and I were taught how to use the chisel properly as a method of cutting out wood in the legs of our bench.

The above image shows the piece of wood that we needed to make a hole in, using a chisel. Before using the chisel, we used the drill to make initial holes in the wood before removing the remaining part of the hole with the chisel.

I never realised that chiseling would involve such concentration and patience. It is rather time consuming, but it is important to realise that if the effort is not put in to ensure it is cut out correctly, the completion of the piece of furniture will be affected.
