This block started as a 10 x 12 wooden piece. At this stage i hadn't created a solid house model so to me this particular piece was unique. The original block of wood was also uneven (wasn't not a perfect cube/cuboid shape). This consequently produced difficulties in obtaining my miniature house model to scale with all the correct dimensions. If the original block of wood had of been a perfect cube I could have used the edges to produce perpendicular lines that gave me my 90 degree angle.
The construction approach.
Using the band saw to cut the wood was vital. Its by far the most simple and quickest way of removing the excess material. Gloves and goggles had to be worn during the process in order to prevent any injury or damage to my eyes and hands.
-Firstly i cut two sides of the wood block perpendicular to each other. From this the house construction was made easier to carry out. I then marked onto the surface of the wood the pencil lines for cut (the points at which i could remove unwanted wood leaving the house structure)
-From here onward it was simply a case of marking the correct dimensions and cutting along the edge using the band saw. In order to make sure i was on the line perfectly i cut just outside the mark. This enabled me to then proceed onto the belt sander to remove the rest with a smooth flat surface finish.
