Red Team Activity Journal (11 a.m. - 1 p.m.) - Four plywood triangles (9 x 9 x 7) are cut for each corner of the base. Using the drill press, holes are made in each of the triangles. The triangles will hold the metal rods that will allow the sections to pivot around the base triangle.
- When the triangles have been glued into the corners of the desk (figure A), the rest of the desk base is also glued and clamped. When the glue dries, the structure is nailed together for extra support.
- When the base is done, the team follows the same glue, clamp and nail process to complete the sliding desk and storage sections of their toy box.
Blue Team Activity Journal (11 a.m. - 1 p.m.)
- The team begins the frame of the cube by cutting two 24 x 24-inch plywood squares. Then, 2 x 2s are cut with a chop saw and screwed to the squares (figure B). The screws are countersunk to avoid exposed heads and the holes can be filled with wood putty.
- The pieces of the triangle are also screwed together (figure C). One side is attached with a one-inch piano hinge so that it can be opened.
- Next, circles for the top and bottom of the cylinder are cut from 3/4-inch plywood using the band saw. The circles, the Plexiglas and the cube frame are all smoothed down with a sander (figure D).
