What a tiring day with wood works!
The last day of May turns miserable for me as I am spending most of my time in a hot, not much ventilated workshop of my campus, dealing with tiring works of hammering and sawing. Why I have to deal with all these wood works eventhough I’m an architecture student?….that is all because of one optional subject we have to take to complete the whole study; Furniture Design Workshop.
There is this workshop assignment which actually costs only 10 percent that we need to complete, and it costs us so much of sweat, energy and time to complete…and we are not even done yet as it consists of 2 parts…I have only completed the first part which is considered to be the easier one but we even had a hard and exhausting time dealing with it; making three holes of square, three holes of triangle, drilling 3 x 3 holes with different sizes and sawing 7 lines on a small wood board. Part 2 is the harder part which we have to measure and draw out lines accurately which the given wood pieces had to be cut to form a strong and rigid frame without use of single nail or glue as it should be attached depending on the tongue and groove joint. I have to deal with this on the other day…and so the conclusion, we need another day to finish it up.
Ahh…not to forget that I have other more important assignments to do, as the submission deadlines for the other assignments are just around the corner, with mainly on next week….yes, I have to face the reality; NEXT WEEK! Even for this furniture design workshop module, I have not even started on the final project on designing and building a multi-purpose shelf, but the deadline for this one is much later. It is incredible that even architecture students have to deal with these wood construction thingy. Now, I admire the workshop’s staff whom had been very experienced and skillful on handling all these wood works. But can they help me to finish it all? haha…impossible…I sweat a lot today, I inhaled a lot of wood dust today and I used up a lot of my energy today, and I am in great loss of water in my body (now rushing to the kitchen to fill up a cup of water full to drink!)…bye…
