Media Counter and Miter Corners

 Today most of us continued to make the miter joint for our toolboxes. This is done simply by cutting 45 degree angles on two pieces of wood so they fit together. Some of the groups that are a little farther into the process have begun to attach those pieces using nails and glue. These pieces are attached 3/8ths of an inch down from the top and attached simply with wood glue and nails. Over all it's a ton of fun and I can't wait to start working on the actual boat!

History- Bath is called the city of ships because ships have been made here for over 400 years. Since the town is on the river it has always had many ships yards.

Vocabulary- Bevel: A slope from the horizontal to vertical in carpentry or stonework; a sloping surface or edge.

Media Tip:  Move your subject from the middle.  Think of your viewfinder as a tic-tac-toe board and put the main subject on one of the side or top thirds lines.
