Day 2

1. When measuring your lumber this morning, what came up and what did you notice that may make cutting difficult in the future?

We measured  two 2x4's and of plywood,  and four 2x4x8's. When we measured we found out there where different measurements and dimensions. When we measured the length, width and height of the  same lumber the measurements were different. Like an example would be that we measured 2'x4' plywood and for the length we got 4 ft and 2/16", width was 1 15/10" and for the height we got 7/16".

2. If you had to teach someone how to use a hand saw, what would you say? be specific for safety reasons.

You first have to make sure you cut outwards, and you have to be around an enviorment where people aren't around to get hurt. You also never put your hand were you are cutting, because most of the time people get there back of their hand cut. To use a hand saw, you push your saw backwards on your line you drew. After push back a couple times, you then push the saw forward and back. You also kind of tilt down while you are cutting on the angle.

3. What is the magic number we repeated 10 times and why is it important to remember?

The magic number was 67.5 degrees which we repeated 54983534534 times. why it is important to remember this number is because, we are going to be building a Ga Ga pit which is an octagon, and each corner is going to be 135 degrees for each angle. And if you cut that number in half you get 6.75 DEGREES!!!
