Yesterday ..
Aug. 26th, 2010 11:52 amI can join the club for original subject lines, but "too bad, so sad" as they say; Think I mentioned in here, that that modern saying makes me laugh!
OK now off the track, i'm hoping my aGL account is sorted out once and for all. Just called them for the third time to say the reason why my account is overdue is because my invoices are still not coming to me in braille as I'd requested and was told was there two times previous. So apparently it's all organized now.
I'm now getting all my centrelink documents sent to me in braille now, so yeah for that! -- Accessability for the win! -- I don't want to harp on about it but, yeah!
OK I slept in til 10.45 this morning; that is just so strange. I'd been awake earlier but couldn't keep my eyes open enough to want to get up, even though I did want too if that makes any sense.
Yesterday was productive as I'm always saying about woodwork lately, but it was and it was cool!
The glu was dry of course so I then got an object (nameless cos I've forgotten what it's called; another email to brett I guess) to try and shave the hard bits of excess glu off the wood. Then I put it through the wide belt sander about eight times on each side to totally smooth out the wood so it full on felt like it was one bit of timber except for the fact the ends were still uneven.
After morning tea, Brett showed us all how to use the pannel saw, and told us unlike the other machines we've learnt so far, this will prob take quite a while to learn as there's so much more to it; it's a huuuge bit of machinery; it does rip and cross cuts. So I then squared the ends of my board with it; i think i will feel confident with it before long though, as I have with everything else so far. So there I was with a 421 by 265 slab of timber (the talking tape measure of course gave me that final figure).
In the afo, Brett got me to practice with using the thicknesser which was good as I had forgotten a few things. He doesn't mind explaining again though since he pointed out it's likely we'll sometimes forget as we've only been in there for one day a week for only five of them for five hours only.
We had some Vision Australia photographers come around and take photos of us using the machinery with our written consent of course; so I'm wondering if they'll be used tomorrow at the expo! :)
Then we finished up basically. The boards should get finished in a few weeks; naturally it's a slow process with a group of us, all at different stages depending on if someone has been away for the week etc.
So, i'm continuing to love this class! I'll def do level 2, even though we're still not long into level 1! :)
Chelle and I then went out for Greek again last night, and I have plenty in my fridge left over, yeah! :)
OK off to watch the Doc soon (Dr. phil that is), and have brunch; what a lazy day, total contrast from yesterday, tomorrow and prob the weekend. :)
Til Next time, RdFreak
