=__Introduction__= Welcome to my page I hope you learn something about my project.

=__My project__= My project is to attempt to build a mini money box using the equipment available to me at school and some of the techniques that I have learned already.

=__But Why ?__= I would like to have a money box to put all my coins into.

==

Hi Callum, this looks good so far. Very straightforward. A few ideas and questions for you: =
 * Can you find other examples/pictures of money boxes to give you ideas of what you would like to make?
 * What materials would you make it out of?
 * What size would it be?

What I have done This week=

I have finalised the sizes for the money box and started to cut correct sizes that I measured out. =what my next steps are= I am planning to finish cutting out the wood using the saw and to start measuring my plastic sides using a ruler.

=Reflecting at home ( Week 2)=

During class this week I started cutting out my wood and finalizing the correct sizes for the rest of the wood. The skills I used this week where using a ruler to make sure the wood was measured correctly .Also I was using a saw to cut through the thick wood .Next week I will be trying to cut out the rest of the wood and measuring out the plastic. It will hopfully be anouther fun lesson.

=Reflecting at home (weeringk 3)=

During class this week I finished cutting out my wood and started to plan out how you would get the money out and seeing that if I dont glue the wood together I cant measure out my plastic. The skills I used this week where a saw to finish cutting out the wood. The next time I am in the work shop I hope to acheve glueing my wood together and to finally measure out my plastic after saying I would for the past tow weeks.

=Reflecting at home (week4)=

during class this week i fitted the work i have been doing together i didnt really do that mutch in class but i did fit together a plan for my project. next week I will try to glue the wood together and measure the plastic.

=Reflecting at home (week5)=

During class this week I figured out where I am going to get the money out of my money box and where it is going in. I am also drilling the holes into the top and the bottom of my money box. The skills I have used this week are learning how to pick the right drill piece for the job and learning how to keep the wood steady while I am drilling. Next week I hope I can finish off the drilling and make a plug for the bottom.

=Reflecting at home (week6)=

During class this week I drew round my trianguler money box on to a big peice of plastic then got it cut out and figued out how to get it stuck on. Next week I will try to stick on thr plastic and paint some of the wood.

=Reflecting at home (week 7)=

During class this week I sanded my plastic to make it fit inside the perimeter of my triangular shaped money box so the plastic would be easyer to stick on. Also during class this week I filed the plastic after I sanded it so it would feel more smooth around the edges of the plastic. Next week in class I plan to make two little strips of wood so that my wee plug that I will make soon won't stick out of the bottem of my money box and make it tip to one side.

=Reflecting at home (week8)=

Durring class this week I sanded the plug for the bottem and finished the the two legs at the bottem. next week i plan to sick on my plastic and start decorrating it.
