DT  Process  Journal                 Jan  25th  2011      -­‐  Trimming  the  second  photoframe    Today   was   sing   lesson   but   I   had   done   most   of   the   trimming   work   of   the   second  photoframe.  As   same   as   every  workshop,   I   put   on   the   apron   to   keep  my   body   clean  from  dust  and  wore  hard  shoes  to  protect  my  feet   from  sharp  tools.   I   then  started  to  trim  both  of  the  outside  and  the  inside  of  the  photoframe.  At  first,  I  used  a  flat  head  file  to  trim  the  inner  part  of  the  photoframe  (See  figure  1).  As  I  cut  it  using  a  coping  saw,  the  surface  was  very  rough.  I  should  remove  those  sharp  edges  then  began  working  with  a  pedestal  drill  because  this  was  more  effective  in  trimming.  Next,  I  used  a  disk  sander  to  trim   the  outside  of   the  phoroframe.   I   should  above   the  dangerous  zone  where  X  was  marked  (See  figure  2).  It  was  difficult  to  trim  because  the  photoframe  was  curved.  

 Figure  1:  The  inside  of  the  photoframe  had  bumpy  surface  as  I  used  a  coping  saw  to  cut.  In  the  photograph,  I  was  trimming  there  with  a  flat  head  file.    

 

Figure  2:  The  outside  of  the  photoframe  was  rough  as  I  cut  it  with  a  coping  saw.  In  the  image,  I  was  trimming  there  with  a  disk  sander.    -­‐  Learner  Profile  Today   I   was   principled   during   the   workshop.   As   I   had   completed   making   one  photoframe,  I  knew  what  I  should  do  to  create  another  photoframe.  I  didn’t  waste  my  time   to   wait   the   teacher’s   help,   and   therefore,   I   could   complete   the   work   faster.   In  addition,   I   was   a   communicator.   I   was   able   to   ask   for   teacher’s   help   when   I   had   a  difficulty  with  taking  the  blade  out  and  putting  it  inside  of  the  holes.    -­‐  Emotion  /  Changes  to  Plan  Today’s  process  was   satisfying   for  me.  As   I  predicted   in   the   flow  chart,   this   trimming  process   took   long   time.   However,   it   took   much   shorter   to   make   the   edge   of  photoframe  smooth.  I  could  move  to  next  process  quicker.  Therefore,  today’s  work  was  successful.
