What Is Going On In La Tinkería?

My project was to make four coasters and one coaster holder, and I would put a design on the coasters. The first thing I did was to design the coasters on Adobe Illustrator and get all the measurements exactly to scale. After I did that I would send it to the laser cutter and cut it out, sand down the surfaces and edges, and finally put a varnishing oil on it. I enjoyed design the coasters in Adobe Illustrator the most, and the thing I like the most about the project is watching the laser cutter cut out the coasters. The most challenging part of this project was probably designing the coasters and now that I know how to use Adobe Illustrator it would be way easier to design it and take less time than I did the first time. Im probably going to keep it near the dinning room table for whenever we need them for drinks.

 My project is a wooden cutting board made from three different types of wood: maple, walnut, and cherry. To complete the project, the design was planned, the wood pieces were cut and assembled by my partner while I was absent, and then I sanded the board until it was smooth and applied varnish to finish it. My favorite part of the project is the look of the different woods together because the contrast between the maple, walnut, and cherry makes the board visually interesting. The most challenging part was making sure the sanding was even and smooth so the final finish looked clean. If I were to do this project again, I would be more involved during the cutting stage so I could experience every step of the process. Now that the project is finished, I plan to keep and use the cutting board at home.

 My project is a set of shark-themed wooden coasters with a holder shaped like a shark fin, and the coasters are round with a shark design and a background inspired by the shark’s habitat. To make it, I planned the design, cut out the wood pieces, shaped and sanded them, added the shark designs, and then finished and assembled everything. My favorite part of the project is the overall design, especially the shark fin holder, because it’s creative and fits the theme really well. The most challenging part of the project was designing everything and figuring out how to make the coaster holder and coasters look good and work together. If I did the project again, I would refine the design more before cutting the wood so the final product is even cleaner. Now that it’s finished, I plan to keep and use the coasters at home or possibly give them as a gift.

  My project was to create a cutting board using different slats of wood. We first cut the wood to size after designing our cutting boards and making measurements. Then we glued them together, let them dry, and routed the edges. Then we sanded it twice (120 --> 220), brushed off the sawdust, and varnished it before letting it dry a final time at an angle.  I really like how it turned out, and I think that the whole process is really cool! However, I would have liked to maybe add a tiny sliver of maple or two to balance it out more and add some dimension to the piece. I think that the hardest part was the routing; I wasn't able to do it, but it looked very difficult. I think I'll give this to my dad for Chanukkah. I'm super stoked to see his reaction!

 for my cutting board i did it out of three different woods into equal parts and put them together then cut them and vorunished it

  My project was a cutting board with different color strips that we made in class. We started by thinking about and sketching out the ideas. Then we got the wood we would need and cut out the pieces we would need. I cut my in to 2 inche pieces. Then we glued those pieces together. Then, since we are working with pears, we cut them in half and cut off the ends to make them even. Once we finished that, we rounded off the edges, started sanding, and put finishing oil on. Then we came back the next few days and put more oil on.  What I liked most about the project was learn how wood works. We learned some of these with the coasters, but we got to learn how to cut the wood ourselves. The most challenging part of this project was that I missed the first day of this project, and that meant I had to rush my design. If I could change one thing about this project is that I wish I had done a more Interesting board. My plan for this cutting board is to give it to my mom so she can use it...
