The process began with sketching my coaster design on paper. I measured and marked the wood, then cut it using a hand saw. After that, I smoothened the edges and surface with sandpaper. Finally, I applied varnish to protect and polish it. The tools I used included a ruler, pencil, hand saw, bench vice, sandpaper, hammer and brush. This step-by-step method helped me complete my product neatly.
I presented my model to peers and they encouraged me for my work. They liked the design but advised me to smoothen the surface further with sandpaper and make the joints tighter.

For my project, I chose to make a wooden coaster. It is a flat, small and simple object that is easy for beginners to design. Coasters are useful because they protect tables and desks from heat, scratches and stains caused by cups or glasses. Making a coaster helped me practice basic skills like measuring, cutting, sanding and finishing, while creating something practical for daily use.
After completing the basic structure of my coaster, I worked on improving its appearance. First, I smoothened the entire surface with sandpaper to remove rough spots. Then, I applied varnish to make it shiny, scratch-resistant and durable. Finally, I decorated the top with a simple painted pattern.Read more

I faced difficulties while making my coaster, especially in cutting straight lines. Sometimes the wood slipped and the cut became uneven. To overcome this, I fixed the wood tightly in the bench vice, carefully marked the line and sawed slowly with patience. I also practiced on a waste piece before cutting the actual wood. This improved my accuracy and confidence.
