Smiley face challenge
Create your own personalized smiley face using the below tools for one final safety check. Help each other out. Apply what you have learned during the safety course. Ask questions if unsure
Use a tape-ring to draw a circle on an offcut of wood that is at least 125mm x 125mm. Then draw a smiley face of your choosing.
Use the Pillar Drill or Cordless Drill to make starter holes for the eyes and mouth. If any of the cut-outs ( e.g. the mouth) have a sharp corner, drill your starter hole in that or those corners.
Use the Scroll Saw to cut out the eyes and mouth. Feel free to practice using the scroll saw on an offcut (scrap piece of plywood).
Use the Band Saw to cut off most of the plywood around your smiley.
Use the Belt Sander to sand down the sides into a circular shape.
Use the Sanding Block and course and fine Sandpaper (different grits) to refine the edges into a bevel.
