Experience (1st Week)

Experience (1st Week)

      My name is Alex and I will tell you about my experience about this project. I am working with my friend named Travis and he also has his own blog that he shared his experience in. Here it is: http://capstonee.blogspot.com/

   Let me update you on things. I am a student at William Sheppard Middle School and my Language Arts teacher assigned a capstone project for the class. I chose my partner, Travis, because he is into craftsmanship too. The project my friend and I will be doing is making a coffee table. At the same time, we will do a video and upload it online. In the video we will explain the steps to building the table and how to safely use tools. We will update the blog every week. Once we are done with the project, we will move on to something new to build. The reason we are doing this project is to introduce people into craftsmanship. Also, we think that people today need to go out and do more things than stay inside.

   It was a hard process in order to make the video because I was not used to being on camera. It is very obvious that I stuttered in the video and I tried my best to ignore it. The video only went to only about 4 minutes and I explained how to cut with a saw. The editing process of the video was not hard because I just trimmed down the videos to the length that I needed and put them together. In conclusion, this was not my best work, but I will try to improve.

  Here is the main blog for this project that I am talking about: http://productivitytogether.blogspot.com/2017/03/working-with-tools-and-making-table.html
