Today 3/4/08 we had to work on measuring our lumber. I noticed that if you measure with the line crooked you won't be able to cut straight because your sense in your mind will make you follow the line even though it may feel as though the line is straight when really it is going crooked just like the way you had made the line in the first place. If I had to teach someone how to use a a hand saw i would tell them to always wear safety goggles because dust goes flying everywhere. I would also tell someone to always cut towards tour chest when you are starting your cut, because it will make your life much easier and it won't slide forward and slip off which can really get someone hurt. Also today we had learned a magic number which is 67.5 in which we had to repeat 10 times in a row. So the reason this is a magic number is because, each corner of the gaga pit (octagon) will have to be 135 degrees for each angle. So if you cut that number in half you get 67.5 which is the MAGIC NUMBER!
