Learning About Hard Material


As it was our first day of going to Hard Material Tech at Tamaki College we had to learn a lot of stuff. Unfortunately we didn’t start creating anything because we were learning the steps first. Our new tech teacher is Mr Grundy. He explained the layout of his workshop, our tech room and made sure we understood all the rules. He showed us the different types of tools, machines and materials like sandpaper we will be using. We also had to fill in our worksheet from the Tamaki College website.


What We Need:

*A block of Pewter Alloy.
*MDF wood.
*Pencil.
*Printer.
*Computer or Netbook or a device that can go on google.
*Different types of needle files.
*Scroll Saw.
*Soup Spoon.
*A Gas Burner.
*Different sandpaper grits.

When we go back  to Tech we will create our own  pewter jewellery with a little presentation box to go with it. I can’t wait to finally start using all the tools and create my own necklace.
