Shop Class; Monday, First Period [11/26].
"'Morning, everyone!" Amaya greeted the class with her usual restrained cheerfulness that just want along with knowing you were going to be spending the next hour hard at work. "Hard to believe that we're coming up on the end of the semester here fairly soon, isn't it? Well, with that in mind, these next two lessons are going to be a bit of a two-parter. We're going to be cracking out our mini-foundries again here next week, where we're going to be making our own molds and casting something with metal melted in our foundries, like we did with the biscuit trays, only this is going to be you deciding what you'll be casting.
"Now, with the method we'll be using, you can use just about anything to press your mold, but what's the fun in using something that's already been made? Today, we're going to be making our models for what we want to make our mold out of, which gives a bit more freedom and fun to what you can make come next week. You're all pretty familiar with the various saws we've got available, you know how to use them safely," or avoid using certain ones for safety, "and wood's a nice, easy material to build stuff out of. So think about what you might like to cast out of metal, make yourself a plan on how to construct it out of wood, and then get to it! If you're uncertain of exactly how to make what you want to make work, just ask and I probably help you figure it out. If you'd like to use a material other than wood, feel free, but we're not looking for anything fancy with these, just something to give us the right shape and form for our molds.
"And that's about it. You all know the drill: grab some coffee if you need it, suit up with your protective gear, and let's get to work! I'm really interested to see what you guys decide to come up with."
