boat

I did aluminum boat building and drawing on my 8thgrade project. I rely likes using the tools. the tools are band saw, welder, welding gloves, clamp, hammer, square, and scibe. I liked cutting and welding on a boat. I relly liked welding. the welding was hard thow. I liked the blind welding. blind welding is where you weld where you cannot see. i hated traceing the side skin and buttom skin. I relly hated measureing. it is very hard to measure because you cannot measure arouned so you need to measure and add. i like makeing the boat and display but I left one side skin out so right now it will not float. I am planing to grind off the display stand off and planing to make another side skin i am planing to make a remote controll boat. I am planing to pant it mint green or polish it ontill it turns like miror. I relly like boats. I am also planing to put rub rails on my litle boat. I am planing to make a live hole that dumps with remote on my boat. I am relly hapie with my boat. I relly like the disighn. I made the desighn by my self I might even paten it and make some money out of it I think this is good idea. I am going to make a remote controll for it so i can sell it for more money. I am going to make a big model of it too.$$$$$$$$$$$$$

8th grade project

I am drawing and building a boat. I am going to draw 15 foot boat. I am going to build a boat out of aluminum. If i cant build that aluminum boat i am going to rebuild my dads friends small sail boat. But i am hoping to build the aluminum boat because i want to learn how to use metal tools like welder and the grinder. I already know how to do wood stuff and fiber glass. I really like wood but wood you have to sand and stain or paint. Fiberglass you need time patience and sanding. Metal you need to cut weld. From my dad He said he likes aluminum instead of wood because it is less mess and it is easy to clean up. Wood you make lots of mess and lot more work and it is hard to clean up when its wet. One thing i heard from my dad is it is colder to work on aluminum because it suck your heat out unlike wood. But wood you need to work outside rain or sun. I like fiberglass because it is fun, it's messy and it is hard. aluminum you can buff it until it shined like a mirror. I want to learn aluminum stuff but not steal. i do not want to learn steal is because it rust and i hate the rusty feeling and it takes more work and it wont last as much as aluminum because aluminum don't rust.

We are sorry

We are sorry

playing football

Forgive us
for being to good

christmas

This X-mas i had a fun time. Santa got me a .22 gun. My .22 is simi auto and it holds 14 shells. also it has a nice wood stock. A day before I came back to school I went to shoot my .22 and my dads .50 cal and dads 30-6. I bought 550 .22 bullets and I shot about 250 ofem in 15 min without trying. I shot a simond plate and it went though 1 out of 2 times. I shot a plywood target and there was almost no wood there then I was finished. I shot my dads friends gun and it was .30 cal and it was fun shooting into a dimond plate. my dads friend shot my dads .50 cal black pouder musleloader and where the cap goes blew off and flew some where. The cap hit my dads friend and cut him on his forehead. We drove like 4 hrs to get to place where we shot. I don't know where we went because I sleeped the whole time going there. But i did knowdiest that there was lots of snow!!!! We weir freezeing after we weir done because we did not expected to have snow so we only had pants and shart and a jacket. I was soaked after i was done because i was the one walking into the snow to put up the targerts. I was relly excited after i was done. Wen we got home I cleaned my gun. I think i'll try to shoot santa down next year:)
