I was motivated about being able to collaborate with Hayley and Callum's team because I can craft and hand made stuffs! I took the initiative to ask Hayley to book the wood workshop to kick-start the project. This is my second time in my college life to go down to the wood work place and I love the smell of wood!
Hayley did the measurement of how big we want the set to be in cm and we could choose how thick we want the floor/walls to be. I think Hayley did a really great design by giving them grooves to make the mortise and tenon joints which could make a strong set and does not require nails. We showed the design to the gentleman who then advise us to leave a few more inches for the thickness of the wood board and so we did and start cutting the wood!
It is very fun and such a new experience! Although we did not have chance to do any of these things ourselves, we learnt by watching the guy do it. It looks very easy and quick. The hardest part is to measure the length and width. (We do not have the brain to do Maths obviously.)
We are coming back to the workshop later to laser cut the windows out of the wall and I am going to start texturising the floor! It is so excited!
