This exercise was about learning to use the mashines in the wood workshop. To try them out we built a wooden car.

I desided to built a van. I made some sketches and found out the measurements I wanted to work with. I wanted my van to be made out of the darker wood and the wheels out of the lighter wood. I sawed the wooden piece I wanted to work with and started to draw where I wanted the details and where I had to drill the holes through. I shaped the car with special saws, put some slots for pictures or cards on the roof of the car and sanded it afterwards. After drilling the holes for the weels and sticking them together I finished up by oiling the wood.
