In the wood workshop we had to create a build a car ourselves. The assignment war pretty clear. We were given instructions to sketch out our car before the wood workshop with rough dimensions.

 

I started sketching out different cars and different shapes but I never was really happy with how it turned out. I then turned to Pinterest for some inspiration and came across little animals with wheels.

So I decided I wanted to go into that direction. I sketched out a cat with wheels in the dimensions of thee wood at the workshop.

Firstly, we cut the rough shape of our object with a saw and then proceeded to file down the details with a file and to get rid of any sharp edges.

Then we drilled the holes for our axis and drilled the wheels for our “car”.

Afterwards, we sanded down the object and its wheels to get a smooth surface.

Finally, we oiled our object to protect it and give it a finished look.
