finished my board! :)
Well yesterday the chopping boards were finally finished and we took them home.
I just used an Orditor (may be the wrong spelling) to sand the face and the edges down and that was it; boy did it make a difference, it's all now so so smooth.
Then we did some machine compidencies which we all passed and had a look at our next project which is an outdoor seat. We made our own cutting list by using the talking tape Measures to measure the 17 pieces of wood to make up the seat. So as Eddie wrote them down, he'll email them to me today and I'll braille them for next week. -- We'll be of course introduced to even more machines which will be very good indeed. We'll be still using the drop-saw from last time but not the thicknesser as the timber will be at the right thickness by default.
So brett wrapped our boards up in bubble-wrap for easier transportation and I was making them laugh by already starting to pop the bubbles, and they were saying that I would have poppped all of them by the time I got home; I did make a good effort at this i have to say! Lol! .. but the board was pretty heavy so I was glad to finally get home.
Chele came over tuesday as she is interested in buying my sofa bed; I am getting a double one that was in the spare room of Dad's apartment in dubai. It will take about a month for all his furniture to be out here though; some is by frate, most by ship.
I also set up Chelle's Seek profile and job mail. We then went to greek for dinner again; so so nice. :)
Last night I updated my seek job mail as I finally found out how to use multi-select listviews in Jaws; I had tried everything except the correct combination (shift F8 to get into them). So now at least I've been able to expand on my current employment interests and I may even create another profile to put mentoring/teaching aid intoo eventually.
