Flood

 A river flood occurs when water levels rise over the top of river banks. This flooding can happen in all river and stream channels. This includes everything from small streams to the world’s largest rivers.

Causes of River Flooding

River flooding typically happens for four reasons. They are:

 Excessive rain from tropical storm systems making landfall

 Persistent thunderstorms over the same area for extended periods

Combined rainfall and snowmelt

How To Make A Saw Horse With Hand Tools.

How To Make A Saw Horse With Hand Tools.

In term 1 2021 I learned how to use hand tools to manufacture a Saw Horse to a specific size from a set of drawings. This took about 6 weeks (24 hrs) I will explain how to make a sawhorse in this blog post

Here is my finished project.

This project was made by using hand tools only. No powered tools were used apart from a battery-powered drill to drill the holes for the screws.

I enjoyed the angle out the leg the most.

I found cutting timber the most difficult part. I overcame this by measuring it right and following the sawhorse booklet.

To make a sawhorse I carried out the following processes.

Marking out the top.

We used a sling bevel to mark out the angle and used a ruler to measure the length of the gap to chisel.

We used a Chisel on the side of the leg to make a gap and smooth the side's surface for the leg to be screw in. 

The angle and the gap of the leg to be screwed in.

Cutting the joints
Hand sewing the leg ends.
Marking out / planing the legs
Fixing the legs

The planed leg.

Marking the 8mm with a marking gauge. With thinner leg stock comes in from the lower edge by only 8mm.

After marking with the marking gauge. We plane the angle of the leg to make it fix in the angle on the side.
