Making the Base

Today in Design and Technology my partner and I, Isabella, made the base! this was a very effective lesson for us as we both worked very quickly and so so good together! to make the base for the trebuchet, we had to get a board and 2 wood sticks. first you had to draw to lines parallel to each other about 9/10 mm away from the vertical edge. After this, we had to put around 5-6 nails half way through on each side. We then got the 2 sticks and put glue on them to help them stick. Then we put the nails all the way through, to put the board and sticks together. The only problem i had today was i bent one of the nails and it came out the side of the stick. It was fixed quickly when Mr Ward came and helped me to get it out. I am very happy with the end of todays result.
