Tool box miters and Kickback

Today, we worked on finishing our tool boxes. We made three sets of miters. One of them went on the bottom, and the next two go together on the middle top. The two on the middle top will have hinges on the back so we can open and close it.
    The new history fact of the day is the Popham Colony had a lot of people on the boat coming from England. Many of them had different trades. One trade we looked at was the blacksmith. The black smith had a part of everything. They would make nails and other things out of metal for houses and boats. With out them most of the things they made here would not have been done with out the black smith.
   The new vocabulary word is kickback. Kickback happens when the table saw is pinched by the wood that is being cut. When that happens if you let go, the wood passes through the saw and it will throw it back in the area where you are standing.
