Wood Workshop Induction

I attended a wood workshop to cut a base to use for when I begin working on creating a puppet of my character for this current module.


Using the panel saw, I cut a 25x25 inch square of MDF and then sketched a circle on it using a ruler and compass so that it was as accurate as possible.


Then, using the band saw I cut around the circle I sketched, leaving a small space in between my line and the saw so I could use this as a guide for when I sanded the wood down.


After that, I used the disc sander to smooth the edges of the base down and also to get rid of any uneven areas that I missed with the band saw.


Finally, I measured out the placement of the hole for the metal pole and then using the pedestal drill, I drilled a hole into my base.


This is the finished outcome. I am planning on attending a second session focusing on metal work to add to this base so it can support my character model.
