In term 1 we also made a wooden necklace that took us 3 weeks to do and I made a cross but lost it sadly. It took me 2 weeks and a half to make and I used the last week to sand it. The tools I used were Sandpaper, bandsaw, and hammer.

Wood Tech
In wood tech, we were told to create a boomerang and we had a week to do it. There were three types of boomerangs we could pick. One was to kill a bird, the other one was to kill giraffes and the other one was to kill a kangaroo. I picked the bird one because it is simple and easy to make.

Drill Gauge
 |
What my aim was to create a gauge that I can use to measure different sizes of drills. The sizes are 3,4,5,5.5,6,6.8, 8,10. I am happy from the results of my work and impressed with the way I painted it.
This is my drill gauge compared to a commercial drill gauge.
This is my drill gauge compared to a commercial drill gauge. As you can see there are more holes in the commercial one than mine because we were given a smaller piece of metal and the commercial drill gauge uses a wider and a longer piece of metal and the is made out of aluminum so that it doesn't rust easily.

The Drill Bit: Drill bits are cutting tools used to remove material to create holes, almost always of circular cross-section. Drill bits come in many sizes and shapes and can create different kinds of holes in many different materials.

How to use the equipment I used
How to use a vernier caliper? Vernier caliper has different parts to measure different things. For example, The vernier caliper has a part that can measure depth. To measure something you have to put something between the jaws of the caliper and close the jaws so that it holds onto it. Once it is closed there are numbers on the top that looks like a ruler, That is where you look to find out the measurement of the item you are looking for.
How to use a spring divider? Spring Dividers (or compass) are used for marking out work. Sharp points can be used to scribe the workpiece, creating arcs and circles. They can also be used to measure the distance between two points. They provide a high degree of accuracy and repeatability. The adjusting screw allows careful adjustment without removal of the tool from the workpiece.
How to use a micrometer? A micrometer is a highly precise device for measuring various objects. It operates by measuring the space between a hard stop (anvil) and a movable surface (spindle). When a thimble is turned it drives the spindle closer or farther away from the anvil. To take a measurement an object is placed between the anvil and the spindle and the thimble is spun until the object is gently pinched between the two faces. After the object is pinched the scale is read and a decimal measurement is derived. Once the object is secured in the clamp, you use the numbering system on the thimble which is the handle portion of the micrometer known as the sleeve. to find your measurement, The Inside Micrometer is used for measuring the inside of diameter, While the outside micrometer is used for measuring out the diameter of an object. To move the anvil face and the spindle you must twist the thimble on the handle to move it back and forth. To tighten the anvil face and the spindle you twist the rachet which is at the back of the handle.
How to use a Buffing machine?
- Scrub from right to left to keep the cleaning solution around the entire area to be polish
- Work backward from the back of the room to the front to prevent walking on the already cleaned area
- Work in a straight line and overlap by approx. one-third of the machine width
- Work sideways when polishing from left to right.
Here is also a video instruction on how to use a buffing machine.

Social Studies
What are we learning about?
We are learning about named Iqbal and who was forced to work to pay off his family's debt.
What is the most interesting thing you have learned?
The most interesting thing about what I've learned was Iqbal literally got forced to work at a carpet factory for three years and he's only 10 years old.
Explain what your work is and how it links to the topic?
My work is about the story of Iqbal and I have explained the start pretty good.
This is my Writing
Iqbal was a Pakistani boy who had to work as a carpet maker to pay his family’s debt. He was forced to work because his parents borrowed money from a money lender and sadly they couldn’t pay the lender in time, so the lender chose Iqbal to work and pay off his family’s debt. A debt slave is a worker who is forced to work until they have paid off their family’s debt. He had to pick a job and that is a carpet maker or a brick maker. Iqbal picked carpet maker because he knew that he had fast hands and he thought that this was the right job for him.
