On the first day of intersession 3/3/08 i found out the difference between a section view and a plan view when you are sketching out your idea for your project. A section view is a sketch from the side, and a plan view is a picture from above (bird's eye view). Today we also had to come up with a safety skit, and my crew did ours on not goofing around with someone who is cutting wood or is using a tool. I was the "non-smart kid" who jumped on Sky's back when he was sawing wood and I made him cut his fingers off. Ours was just based around not wrestling and using smart decisions when someone is in the middle of working on something with a dangerous tool. Another thing that happened today was Mr. Larry Rosenstock came in to teach us about carpentry, and he told us that American made saws are very different than Japan made saws, because American made saws teeth are made to push through the wood, and Japan made saws are made to pull through wood. Mr. Rosenstock also taught us a saying, "Measure twice, cut once". This means that you have to measure twice just for perfection so you don't mess up on the piece of wood you're cutting because wood is very expensive. So basically it is just making sure you are being precise.
