Project Summary

This project was definitely the most challenging project for me thus far. I had no idea how to build a vessel, how to work with wood, how to use a band-saw, band-sander, and many other things. I did not have a clue where to start. Thank goodness for the men in the work shop because they helped guide me throughout my entire process. My main weakness was having no prior knowledge of building a vessel before this project. I was sick one day and it put me way behind resulting in me having to rush pieces of my skull, which made me pretty sad. If I were to do this again, I would be able to understand the tools and the amount of time needed and therefore, would have a better hand-made box. I ended up being able to handle the band-saw pretty well. I'm glad that I have now learned how to work these power tools and can say I made the box all on my own!
