Woodwork week 3

This week, i used my time to start on the wooden cylinder that the paper towels will go on. To do this, i gathered two rectangular bits of wood and glued and clamped them together so that they formed a square. I will then use this on the wood lave and make it circular. I also finished my slots for in the vertical pieces.

Woodwork week 2

This week, i have used a coping saw and a oscillating sander to put smooth curves into the two vertical pieces of wood I have also started to put the grooves into the so that other wood can fit in it (this will occur later).
The picture below shows what i have done so far.

The end result was this:
