    My practical went alright. I wasn't too happy with how it turned out but my teacher seemed pleased enough. I managed to assemble it but it wasn't really what you'd call sturdy :P

    Do we need to bring anything into the exam? I saw the sheet with the tools needed and it says 'dovetail template 1:6'?

    working for me....

    practical went grand, pieces are easy to identify, and easy to mark out, nothing really difficult in it.

    No need anymore, got into it. My computer was living in 2005 so I updated Adobe and it worked!

    An extra hour today at the practical would have been lovely, nevertheless wasn't too bad.

    Nah, I'm pretty sure it was easier this year. Was more straight-forward.

    We've just covered stairs in class now, doubt it will come up though. I'm gonna perfect those U-Values and drawings and I should do grand in the theory exam.

    No real trick to it.

    Baught the mirror thankfully. Sand blasted onto the back of the mirror so lovely smooth surface on the playing area. Sand blasting however is easily damaged.
