As you can see the view from my work station was spectacular - looking out into Silva Bay. For part of the time a big wooden boat was in dry dock to the left of my station and this added to the very nautical atmosphere. The two guys contemplating boxes are Heron and Trevor who were our instructors, and very good they were. There were 9 of us in the group. Five of the group can be seen working on the technical drawing of the tote we made as a project in the second week - it was all angled at 10 degrees which made every single joint or cut very interesting. I learned a lot about sharp tools, blunt fingers, and accurate markings to say nothing of using a dozuki saw to cut to the line even if it has a ten degree angle. Two weeks of hard work, standing all day but definitely worth it. Many of my class are going on to the 3 month ships cabinetry course - I will try to drop in and visit. Still to come a picture of the tote I made.
