The project we have just been assigned is the construction of penny hockey sets. This project will give us a chance to use almost all of the tools provided in the Makerspace. However, before we begin the actual fabrication process, it is important that we understand what materials we have been given.
The first material introduced was a 1/2" MDF Board (1' x 1'). We will use the table saw to cut this to the desired dimensions for our penny hockey set base.
The second material was the 1" x 1-1/4" Common Board (4' length). We will use the miter saw to cut these into separate pieces for the boundaries of the set.
The third material was a 1' x 1' Vinyl Tile. We are provided with the choice of either a black or white tile. We will use the laser engraver to personalize the tile which will cover the base of the set.
The fourth material was the 1/4" Dowel Rod (1' in length). We will most likely use the bandsaw to cut these for our penny hockey set's defenders.
Finally, there was the 1-1/4" Finishing Nails. We'll use the nail gun to nail the final product together.
I am very excited for this project. The first step towards creating my penny hockey set is using the table saw to cut the MDF Board for my base, which I plan to accomplish in the next class.
