It was hot, hot, hot for resistant materials day 2. Some of us started off trying out brazing in
the forge. Then it was onto metal
turning, using a lathe to create an internal screw thread. We had a crack at the band saw, then went
back to hand tools to create halving joints (demonstrating accurate marking and
measuring).
We're sorta working towards
making a picture frame involving wood joints and machined metal components but
we won't get it finished. This leads to
the question of whether school projects must always make products to take home? (Limited discussion on the ideas page).
Alison also mentioned Carol
Dweck, who talks of the “growth mindset”, how praise can be counter-productive
and how to criticise well.
At the end of the day, we did a bit of preparation for our school visit, making an example and planning the lesson.
