Unit 72- Ramp Building- 10/12/15

First of all using a ruler and pencil we measured off the 5 measurements for the stands, then with the markings drawn and squared off we saw each stand.

Once sawn the edges were rough and needed straightening/evening so by sanding them on a band saw we evened the wood ends out.

To ensure they were even using an engineering square we can ensure how straight they are.

Our five stands will be attached to a longer piece of wood to make the ramp.

We measured, cut and sawed the longer top beam for the ramp and neatened the edges by sanding them.

the on each of the stumps we needed to drill holes to attach with screws to the beams. By measuring 15mm from either end and measuring the width it allowed lines to be squared off with an engineering square and then crossed ready to drill.

Ensuring a piece of scrap wood is under the piece (to stop it drilling into the desk) using a drill I drilled down where the marks were on each piece of wood.

Next lesson we will screw this wood to the bottom beam.
