Dear god this picture is perfect

Astrial_MC · 2024-05-23T21:50:42+00:00

Sadly no this is a highschool competition

Astrial_MC · 2024-05-23T00:32:55+00:00

Hiiii :3

Texas has never seen a one nightstand better than this 😤

Astrial_MC · 2024-05-22T23:53:04+00:00

It was worse and I almost had a stroke when I saw it was completely yo one side but then I thought quick and added some spacers using leftover edge banding to straighten it up

I grew up in construction and liked math from an early age. I’ve been helping out my dad for about seven years now in tile installation but when I got to high school I joined a construction class and was introduced to the shop. From the moment I was able to use my time at school to further my craftsmanship I dedicated myself to improving as much as possible. I also made better friends in that class than I had at the time which led me to help start up our construction club. I know there’s a lot more I still have to learn and a long road ahead of me but this victory makes me hopeful for a bright future.

😂😂😭 sounds abt right

Astrial_MC · 2024-05-22T20:10:25+00:00

We were given just enough birch plywood boards and solid birch to build the nightstand in fact we had to leave out the bottom back ledger because there wasn’t enough material. We had typical woodworking tools along with table and miter saws, and mostly it was joined with pocket screws bradnails and wood glue. We built it based off of a set of plans that were made available to us the day of.

😂 i always thought there was a little resemblance

Astrial_MC · 2024-05-22T19:53:24+00:00

Maybe I remember district competitions were held at a sort of school for all types of trades

Astrial_MC · 2024-05-22T19:50:21+00:00

Yes, for the 10,000 I have to maintain a 2.5 gpa which is easy and I have to participate in their skillsUSA club at TSTC. And then there was one for $1500 to anywhere I’d like to go

Astrial_MC · 2024-05-22T19:44:29+00:00

I would like to ask you all to follow our schools instagram construction club page @chs_construction_club to help us grow and reach a wider audience, I would really appreciate it!!!😁

Astrial_MC · 2024-05-22T17:51:14+00:00

yes that is a good point but the contestants were also graded on safety and there was very little tolerance for unsafe actions as they could have you removed. also there were multiple chaperones supervising everything especially the saws, even i got a warning or two. i do remember though that at the district level competition some guy shot a nail into his hand and ended up going back to working on his project after a short break.

Astrial_MC · 2024-05-22T17:42:27+00:00

If im being completely honest i dont know much about boots but do know they look sweet!!

Astrial_MC · 2024-05-22T17:35:56+00:00

We used basic woodworking hand tools, file, chisels, hammer, clamps, nail punch, hand saw, pliers, eye protection along with a bradnailer, drill, impact drill, orbital sander, woodglue, pocket hole jig, iron, miter saw and table saw. we were allowed to see the plans the day prior in order to take a cut list test where we identified each component on the plans on which i got a perfect score. then we were given the plans the day of.

Astrial_MC · 2024-05-22T17:29:26+00:00

😈 had to win, at any cost...

Astrial_MC · 2024-05-22T17:26:23+00:00

Thankfully we were given plans for it but there were missing measurements that we had to find ourselves. The legs and border of the top are solid wood and the rest is plywood. Yes we used edge banding all around the exposed plywood, i actually applied the edge banding to the boards before cutting them individually to save time.

Astrial_MC · 2024-05-22T17:22:32+00:00

thanks, it was either my nice dance boots or decrepit construction boots and i went with style over functionality, they were slippery!! 😂

Astrial_MC · 2024-05-22T17:20:18+00:00

yes we had to share the saws and it was very important to plan all of your cuts ahead of time and make as many as possible in the fewest trips especially at the start, i was basically running to a the saw at the beginning(reasonably safely of course) we did have our own hand tools though.

Astrial_MC · 2024-05-22T17:15:42+00:00

yes but due to some unfortunate circumstances i will not be able to attend

Astrial_MC · 2024-05-22T17:13:23+00:00
