Early Stages

Bungalows!

This is what our resort was modelled after!

Completing Our Project

As our project was missing when we returned from the holidays, Karri and i immeadiatley began to focus on our multimedia presentation and perfecting that before they were due. We were a little dissapointed that we were unable to see the final result of our project, however we were happy to have the extra time to do our power point.

Routing the pool and making the hut's

This lesson Karri and I routed the pool. We both had a turn of practicing on a scrap piece of wood which I enjoyed. We then routed the pool and sanded the sides to make it look like a lagoon pool. After this we began making the huts that we are going to use as rooms for the guests, we decided that we are going to but them half in the water and half out to give it the effect that the guests can see the fish underwater. We began by using a piece of timber that was already in the shape of a box or hut and using this as the base. It then used the staple knife and cut out the cardboard to make the roof. I did this by making it a width of 40 mm and a length of 80mm in the middle I used the knife to make a crease jn the middle of it to give it the ability to bend which makes the point of the hut. I then used the hot glue gun to attach the roof to the timber. Then Karri and I glued the paddle pop sticks onto the roof to give it more effect.

May 3 & 5

These two lessons were very productive. Firstly Mr Ward showed the class how the use the router and some students had a go. Karri and I then collected another piece of wood that we were going to use as the shore of the beach resort after cutting the excess wood of we used a sanding device to make the shore line look like a beach which gives it the effect of making the water look deep. We then used PVA glue to attach it to our main board and clamped it together. The next lesson I measured out the walls on pinewood which are going to be stuck around the outside and stop the glue (water) from dripping over the sides. Karri used the sander to even up the outsides of the board. Next lesson we will be routering the swimming pool and then gluing the walls on the outside.

Term 2

This lesson we started off with going through the design brief and Mr Ward showed us the questions we have to answer and how to answer them. Later in the lesson he showed us how to do the base using PVA glue, MDF and pine wood.
