This trimester in wood work for my impact project I made a wooden model train. I finished it on the weekend during lockdown. It looks really cool. My dad helped me buy some bolts and washers. The train is made out of rimu and I added a couple of details.
I liked designing the plans for the train because I had to think of what I wanted the train to look like and where I wanted to put all the different details.
I got frustrated when the train slipped out of my fingers when I was bringing it to the shed. The whole back of it broken half because the wood splits easy. Luckily I was able to glue it back together.
I found it tricky to stain the train because the tin of stain got stirred up. All the thick stain at the bottom mixed with all the thin stain on the top. This made it really thick so was hard to paint on.
Here's is my wooden train that I built.
