This project will have you design, plan, and build a wooden creation showing the Calgary skyline.

This project will cover:

• Safe and Skilled use of:
• Universal Saw (and Bandsaw)
• Coping Saw (and Scroll Saw)
• Cordless Drill (and Drill Press)
• Sandpaper/Files/Rasps (and Belt/Disc Sander)
• Wood:
  • Metric and Imperial measures.
  • Plywood and Board.

Visual Prototype:

You need to come up with a visual prototype of your design. FIRST do some sketches on blank paper to explore your ideas and THEN do a scale drawing (1:1 scale) on a piece of graph paper of your design.

Project Requirements:

Your design must include design elements that require the use of the following tools:

• Your design must be NO MORE than 30 cm in length.
• Universal Saw/Bandsaw. (For example, cutting an appropriate sized piece of wood for the backdrop?)
• Drill Press/Cordless Drill. (For example, having a sun or moon in the sky, holes for windows in buildings…). At least one hole.
• Coping Saw/Scroll saw. (For example, a piece of ¼ in plywood for a skyline of the mountains/buildings…)
• Sand paper/Belt and Disc Sander.

Optional Materials to Consider:

• ¼ inch plywood (for skyline, etc.)
• Small scrap pieces of wood (for buildings, etc…)
• Wire (for sun/moon, silhouette of buildings, etc.)
• Dowel (for towers, buildings, etc…)
