Hard Material

Wednesday 31 July

In Hard Material, I decided to create a piano. I'm creating this piano for my sister because she has many small objects and always tends to lose them. She has no place to stall them. I reckoned that this will be finished by the time of her birthday. If not, I'll just have to save it until then. Also because she enjoys playing the piano. 

The Process of making this Piano:

Step 1:
I used a pencil and a ruler to make a full size working drawing of my Piano because I had to find the measurements of my piano.

Step 2:
I used a Pencil, Tri-Square and a ruler to copy the measurements from my drawing onto the piece of wood. 

Step 3:
I marked a square line (at 90degrees) across and using a Pencil and a Tri - Square.

Step 4:
I cut off the first piece of wood using a backed saw. 

Step 5:
I then marked out the 2 joint lines using a Tri - Square and a pencil.

Step 6: 
Sir used a marking gauge to make a dented line on the side of the wood in between the lines I drew. 

Step 7:
I saw cut the lines until I reached the marking gauge dented line. This would make it easier for the next step.

Step 8: 
I then used a wood chisel to chisel out the wood between the lines and stopped at the dented gauge line. I did this to insert the wood to make a joint.

Step 9:
The space that I chiseled wasn't a bit too confined for the wood to fit in. The wood would be stuck the space. So then Sir suggested I sand the wood going into the space so it would fit.

Step 10: 
After that, Sir glued in the joint. I waited for it to dry.

Step 11: 
The next week, I made another joint for the other side of the wood to go into. Making this joint included all the steps above. 

Step 12:
I marked the lines of a piano. Sir cut the sides into the shape of the piano.

Step 13:
Sir glued a thin piece of wood to the back of the piano. I waited another week for that to dry.

Step 14:
The next week, sir cut out another thin piece of wood to make the space to insert small objects. He glued it on and the holidays came.

Step 15:
The next term, Sir glued on the knob at the top of the piano. That was the knob to use to open up to the space.

Step 16: 
I rubbed all mistakes out and sanded the wood that was uneven.

Step 17:
I measured lines for the keyboard. Sir generously made me a small tri - square because the original tri - square is too large.


Step 18:
Glue a note holder at the top of the keys. 

Step 19:
Glue 2 pieces of wood in the shape of pedals at the bottom to complete it.

Task: Continue on from the first paragraph set for you.


Kate glanced across at Jessica and noticed that she was nervous too.
The guides had checked everyone’s equipment thoroughly and now the group was about
to abseil down a sheer rock face into the eerie, unknown depth of a cave.


They walked through an exit and watched from afar, they watched the glistening yellow
sun go down. They all sat on the rough edge of the cliff. After a while, the clouds started
to cover up the sun. They thought it was going to block their view, so they got up and
continued exploring. 


They went back into the cave decided to split up. They all took cameras to capture
moments they’d like to share with the group. 

Kate and Jessica went through the tunnel that looked less horrifying.
As they walked through the tunnel of stranded webs, they heard a noise coming from
where they previously were. They thought that it was the rest of the group, so they
ignored it. They continued to walk but the noise grew louder and came closer to them.
They tried their best to ignore it as they were terrified of it. Suddenly, the noise had
finally stopped. They were relieved.

They stopped for a drink of water. As Kate grabbed the water bottle, Jessica heard the
noise again. It came from in front of them. “I’ll be back Kate”. And just as Kate went to
stop her, she looked up and Jessica was nowhere in sight! Kate was worried, her face
turned red as a ripe tomato. “JESSICA, JESSICA!” Kate shouted as loud as she could,
still no reply. She stood still like a possum in shock and dropped her water bottle. 
"AAARRGGHHHHH!!" shouted Jessica as her wire suddenly snapped, standing
between a crack in the hollow ground! "JESSICA!! WHERE ARE YOU?!"
Kate wondered around the cave but couldn't seem to find Jessica! Kate dropped to
her knees and cried hopelessly. "I knew we shouldn't have come! JESSICA!!"
exclaimed Kate.

"HAHAHAHA, YOU REALLY THOUGHT!" Jessica cackled with such an evil laugh
as she appeared out of nowhere.

My favorite scripture is when Mary visited Elizabeth. That just shows she loves her family.
