“It’s our darkness’s, that frighten us” is a line from the movie Coach Carter. It also says, “playing small does not serve the world”. I take this to mean be yourself, keep a smile on your face and wake up feeling great. Its like you have a Lambo parked out waiting for you to fly pass your fears.

Its also like having a YZ450 full of gas, sitting on the sand dunes at Mititmiti ready for you to do whatever you want, to achieve anything you want to achieve.

What we ended up doing last week, was putting the water proofing building tape around the window. This helps to protect against water damage to the material. This is the second time that I’ve done the job because Jack showed us how it should be done and now I’m better then how I was at first time  putting the tape around the window frame keeping timber wood dry.

Metal toughness is pushing yourself forward and never looking back. Having to verse yourself each day trying to improve yourself like you are in a game. Keep on leveling up and make your character the character you want to be. It’s you versus you after all.

Ways I show metal toughness is controling something like it’s sore but take it like its nothing.

What does that mean

Cleaning up after your self. doing stuff without taking 2 trays (taking more than your share). Keeping  on track on getting up in the morning. get things without standing around, but grab it anyways so you can get to next step.

What does it look like?

Take action for yourself, have self control. Have sleeping schedules. Keep your self well behaved. Not to disturb when your teacher is talking.

I like the background of the song “you’ll never walk alone”. I believe this song gives a deeper meaning along with making meaningful connections. “As I’ll have your back, side by side as a pack” letting you know your not alone seeing that there’s many people that are in this situation that brings them together.

what I’ve picked up on what I’ve learnt is seeing how most machinery is controlled by one person in a remoted room as every log gets to a part facing forward to spitting the logs too 50m as setted to every wood that has not face forward to the cuts and seeing how some machinery oparetes by shifting the wood to diffrent areas as its keeping things organized where most of the timber wood goes through the organizing section to keep them in same sizes keeping them with the number of tags that their given making sure we had earmuffs to keep sound from entering to ears to keep them well protected as where the logs factory was loud making everything to impossible to hear but having to see how the timber wood was been created from different machinery’s was a good experience to learn from what thought was impossible but managed to see how it was done.

something i learnt was strightting up a wall by pulling the wall forward or back. dapends on where the bend is if its out side the wall or inside, having a cut in the studs and having to put a shackle to make it open up to get someone to pull in as the person is hamring the shackle to hold it in place.

Be bold and courageous when you look back at life you’ll regret the things you didn’t do more than the ones that you did.

having to step up to anything that having to stop you half way but decided to keep going until nothing can stop you at all

What I learnt was how to set the drop saw to 8 degrees for our studs. I made sure my fingers weren’t exposed to the blade. As we set it the wrong angle and we realized to put it on to 8 degree as it gave us the angel that we needed for our studs.

Measuring is seeing how long  it should be so it can be the right size as we planned it to be. The far left stud was 1.4m and the studs were at 600mm centres. The nogs are to keep the studs intact so it is fully stabled for the wall to stay up.

what I learnt using the hand saw  of how hard work it is with out not using skilly. but what we’ve learnt was measuring the right hight and cutting without going out of line. keeping ur elbows tucked so u get the maximum drive through having each side of the log cut with outline so it gives u more sight of keeping on track and not off roading
