What's the Funk Doing? #6 (wood stripping)

# data[].attributes.body
It takes time to build the shell of a wood strip canoe. I use bungee cord instead of nails to secure the wood strips tot he forms. This technique avoids all of the tiny holes that would need to be filled. It's a neat trick, but time consuming.

What's the Funk Doing? #5 (cove cut & glue)

# data[].attributes.body
This video highlights the delicate cove cut for gluing onto the canoe. I do this in pairs, one for each side. That way I'm not damaging the edges while doing other work in the barn.

then we cut a hole with the jig saw that was the hardest part. Then we bolted the legs on. we will do the other ones this weekend and we have to paint them.

# data[].attributes.body
Next we used a skill saw to cut the frame 1st and screwed it together. For the top we used a staple gun then hammered a nail in the center of the hole tied  a pencil to a string that was 3 in long and drew the circle it was 6 in total.

# data[].attributes.body
This video demonstrates the first cutting profile for the wood strips.  I use a router table, and several roller stands to handle the 12 feet of material.  The trick is to avoid breaking the pieces, as there are many insect holes compromising the strength of the strips.

This weekend I thought I should make a stand for my bike, so I could work on it. but instead i made a really small ramp called the Bunny Hopper. It is 12 inches tall, 18 inches wide and about 2 1/2 feet long. I had first come up with the design by drawing it on my iPad. It has a little angle in the back so it won't tip when you hit it. I used ply wood, two by fours, and two by twos. I also used a skill saw, a hole saw, a jig saw, a drill, clamps, and a vice. To make it lighter and easier to carry, I made handles using the hole saw and jig saw to cut out triangles. This took me two days to make and was really fun.

I've been taking pictures while walking my dong, Nova, but none of them were good. I do however have pictures of the Grand Canyon from a family trip to California last summer. I wasn't able to get all of them off my camera before it died but I have one of the best ones out of them all. ~I 100% swear on my life I took this picture~

This week I made Zucchini Chocolate Chip Cookies. I got out all the ingredients and then looked at the instructions. I looked at the recipe very carefully and made sure to follow it exactly. I went step-by-step and made sure to put every ingredient in with the right amounts. I tried to be very precise about how much I measured. A struggle I had was when I was trying to measure something but I was also trying to stop the mixer at the same time.

4/22/20 - Today I traced out the holes with a small cup on the top of the box. I used a knife at first but it was hard to cut the cardboard. I asked my Dad for a another tool. He allowed me to use a razor blade carefully. I found with the razor blade it cut easier and smoother. I useed that the rest of the time. One of my struggles was there was an extra layer of cardboard underneith the circle and cut it out. here is the video.

My Project is A dish based off Disney and Pixar's, Ratatouille from the movie Ratatouille. If you have seen the movie, you would know what this picture is. I'm still trying to find the right tools, but I have everything else done. I found this website that is better than Wikihow! just to let you know, this picture was taken in September, 2019.

Cutting the long boards into thin strips is trick.. There needs to be a lot of support before and after the cut. A steady hand is also a necessity.

This week I made a heart pillow. My stuggle this week was sewing in the right place and having big gaps in the heart. My other stuggle was cut it out becasue Im really bad at cutting things out.

I've found some helpful tips for photography. One of them is the grid. A grid is a honeycomb metal insert that goes in front of your reflector.(A reflector is a tool that helps a photographer to manipulate the light by providing another surface for the light to bounce off of.) Grids help a photographer control the quality of light and the area of coverage on a set.
My mom taught me not to center the subject of the photo in the middle, but somewhere in one of the corner grid pieces.

I'm still trying to figure out how to upload pictures from my camera.

So far I have researched instructions to bake something, I don't have all of the ingredients yet so I will probably start baking Thursday or Friday!

# data[].attributes.body
So far I have made a cake for the baking contest on instructables.com as well as sewing masks for my family. Also, I am working on my original What IF Project of whittling. On the last day of school I brought my project home but it was hard because I had to get the supplies and now we have school everyday so it can be complicated to find time to whittle.

I am  going to design a toy for my dog out of card board. Last week I researched on the internet how to work with card board. First thing I did was going to find a card board box in the garage. I found a box and than painted it. One of my struggles was the box was ugly so I had to paint it.
