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.
While making my bamboo product, I faced difficulties in cutting the bamboo culm evenly. The hacksaw sometimes slipped and the edges were rough. To overcome this, I marked the cut clearly with a pencil, fixed the bamboo tightly in the vice and used the hacksaw slowly. I also asked my teacher for guidRead more
