During the past few weeks of wood, my class and I have learnt about
finger joints. Finger joints is when two pieces of wood are cut up on
the side like the pattern of our fingers and joined up together with
another piece of wood. Finger joints are used to hold the wood
steadily in its position with a bit of glue added to it. My class and I
are using this method to create a serving tray. So far we've been able
to use the finger joints with 4 pieces of wood to create a rectangle.
The tools we used to create the joints was a wooden hamlet, chisel, saw,
a pencil and ruler to line my cutting. So far, I'm happy with my product,
now all there's left to do is the bottom.
