I enjoy it. It's situated just outside the nearest town to my village so its a bit of a trek. (Literally sometimes). My course is advanced carpentry. This is covered in two basic sections. Bench and site.<br />
<br />

Bench work is precision. making chairs, tables, furniture, decorations etc<br />
For example chair frames. each piece has to be perfectly crafted to fit together. It's skilled work and I enjoy it very much.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately we don't get to do much of this at college yet. Hopefully in months to come I will be able to make things like this.<br />

This sort of roofing is constructed on site. Hence the name.<br />
<br />
We do a lot of this at college. I enjoy it as it involves climbing around and solving problems with a group. Making large pieces like this requires a good mentality and a practical mind. Things like this can really challenge me.<br />
<br />

<br />
Bench work is probably my favourite. There is a lot more creativity and freedom.Eddhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00324260316442487346noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4758298832005037180.post-56411517587975858332011-01-14T18:21:00.000-08:002011-01-14T18:21:56.131-08:00BowlingIt was my friend Dave's 21st birthday today and we went bowling. Just got back. I had loads of fun. Won one game and played on the arcade games much more than I should have and drank much more than I should have. One funny thing that happened was when I went to the gumball machine and payed 20p for a delicious sphere of sugar, my friend promptly and on que noticed the hole someone had melted in the back of the machine with a ligher. we went on to tip the gumball machine slightly and fill our pockets with gumballs. Im eating one now! HAHA!<br />

Instead I sit in my room. I have my computer, my TV and Xbox and my bed. that's about all I do. On Thursdays and Fridays at least. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are spent studying carpentry at college in the nearby town where I work my ass off not learning as I'm way ahead of my class. But rather doing jobs for the head of department. The sort of stuff I could get payed £6.50 an hour for in a factory</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Weekends are usually spent socialising. Or atempting too in this god forsaken village. I have little friends who live here. All of my other friends are sat at at least a 15 mile radius away... I just need to get this baby on the road. Then I'm sorted. free.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">But until then I can only go places in the virtual world. Computer games give a sense of freedom that I long for. The nearest bus that goes by my village is a miles walk. I have to get it occasionally but it SUCKS. So, well. For now. I will get back to this....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
