[stalk_if_u_dare]

Thanks!!
Well i have almost finished my two-part chest. & this week i'm going to buy at large plastic box to make the esky chest. I have half of the wood needed for the tent, but the tent is going to be the last thing to do.

I've only got photos of me playing with bandsaws & routers. But when i get the basic constrution of the two-part chest i'll post that on!!! Are you doing anything?

wat timber are u making them all out of?
yer im makin a jarrah outdoor setting, table n chairs i jus finished the table in the holidays. im taking sum fotos 2moro ill post them up then.

That sounds pretty cool! i'm using the cheapest stuff that has a good grain. Cause i don't think medieval people cared if their timber products were made out of rare timber!!

So i'm using good old Blue Mountains Ash ------ its pretty!

 

[stew_g17]

Sweet!!! thats a really fantastic table!!! Plus you're WAY ahead than me & the rest of my class!!!

I got me report today & i was quite pleased that i came second out of the class of 6!!!! me happy!

I've just finished glueing the chest together, just need to make the bottom, the divider & attach the top on. Plus i finally got a plastic box for the esky chest!!

Well the tent is a A-frame Viking tent & i'll show u a photo of one thats on the net... that i'll hope mine will look like! It will be around 2.5-8 metres high!

I'm doing a tent because i do medieval reenactment & i want a 'authenic' looking tent instead of a modern one.

Well at the beginning of the year we had around 10 then people left. But Sir likes a small class cause he can help everyone in one period (43 minutes).

All my class are guys & are making:

*a coffin shaped coffee table
*A outdoor table & chairs
*a computer desk
*a weird looking student desk
*& a king sized bed

So far i'm the only one making progess!

 

[stew_g17]

lol that sounds very similar to our class high expectations but not much work being done.

How is your folio progressing thats the thing that can bring a lot of good projects down in marks????????? ino my class has been pritty slack in doing theres but im going alrite nearly up to finishing my second folder.

 

[stalk_if_u_dare]

My folio is REALLY bad...i had to hand it in unfinished in term 1 so i lower marks but at least i did handed it in! unlike 3 others in the class...lol.

Still doing the working drawings, i just don't have the time cause i do drama, ancient history, hospitality at TAFE..plus i need to find work placement as well for hospitality....its SO much!!!!!

 

[too_big_to_fit]

Well

Roz, you made a mistake, your not the only one making progress, and you know that. i am to, Steven, Chris, Ryan, dont know about Adrian though.

Oh, have a guess who i am? Im the one who making and outdoor table, the one from the stupid town. The one who is way taller than you. You know, the guy with the shirt, the hair, and that feet.

 

[stew_g17]

sounds like a little class dispute there but i wont get into it.
do you have any pics of your project so far of your outdoor setting????
post them up!!

 

[too_big_to_fit]

Nah, im just kidding around, so was she, so, yeah, i am doin an outdoor table, its not really finished, i only got the ends and legs done, and a little of the table top frame, thats about it, i do have some photos of me constructin/building it. Ill put them on l8tr. But ill show you my plans though, but you have to have vector works. if it works though.

Cheers, Allen
