Wood Tools!

 Today in our google meet for tech we were learning about the wood tools. What I mean is that Mr Grundy gave us a doc to fill in about questions about wood tools. Yes, we did have videos to watch, which I was so grateful for. Anyways, here is the activity and I have to say every time we do these task it makes me actually want to be there. I can't wait for lock down to be OVER so I can start doing my project. Which I can't seem to choose. Remember to STAY SAFE and HAPPY MAORI LANGUAGE WEEK!

This video shows a housing joint the same  as the 

one that you will make for your project.

Last question!

Why do you think that we mark the depth of the trench with a marking gauge that makes a groove in the wood and not with a pencil line?

Answer.  Because when using a marking gauge you can feel it when you get to the point. When you use a pencil line you don't know when it ends.
