DAY 10: PUT THE NAIL FOR THE JOINT AND SECURE IT
Today I was supposed to put the nail inside the hole that I had made using the drill for the joint. The purpose of the joint is to make the handle of the surfing board fold able making it more portable! The lessons began as usual. I entered the class a little late today because there was no need for me to run and grab an equipment that was in demand. All I needed was the hammer! I had put the nail that I found in the DT lab carefully in the pencil case so that I do not loose it and can use it today. I valued it a lot because fortunately I had found a perfect nail that perfectly fits into the hole I had made. If I had not found it, I would have been forced to buy one which would have taken around a week. But today's lesson has put me even further behind in my plan. It was the most disastrous lesson I have even had since DT has began! When I got my nail and the two parts of the joints, I was excited because I was about finish one of the most difficult tasks in my plan which would take me many steps closer to finishing my product! When I put the nail inside I clamped it and started gently hammering it. I was extremely gentle and careful because I definitely did not want to mess up during this time. I was very gently doing and it took me around 5-10 minutes to do this only. Now one can imagine how slowly and gently I was doing this! I was almost done with it when I took it out of the clamp and wanted to test it before I hit the nail one last time and make it secure and never look back at it again! But I never got an opportunity to do this because when I got it out of the clamp and bent ti to check if it is all right, the handle broke near the joint! Yes! This is the second time the handle itself is breaking. When this, I broke down into tears and wanted to give up that very second. I was very stressed and frustrated because of this and did not know what to do. When I put myself back together, i went to the teacher and showed it to him. He was also surprised because the same thing happened a few weeks ago! He had the same reaction! He told me to do it again but using another material of wood! I told him that I wanted to give up and he said no don't! So I did not and decided to give it another try. I drew it during this lesson and kept it aside because my mood for working was gone because of the incident. Here is a picture of the disaster:
