Image Transfer

This unit in Woodshop, I got to learn how to use automatic saw machine and how to drill holes with a drill. It was an interesting class, I was a bit intimated at first with all the equipment, but after a few classes, I became comfortable with using these machines. The purpose of this class was to get comfortable using the machines and to create at least one design of our choice. The first classes were for us to get a hands-on experience with the drill, hammers, saw, and sander. The next few classes we started to create out image transfer. We chose images online for what we wanted to use for the image transfers.I decided to use a picture of sonic because it's funny and I like funny stuff.

To transfer the image onto the wood block, I first searched online for a picture. I chose Sonic because it was a funny meme. I think had to measure the size of the image so that it would fit on the block, this was pretty easy because it just took resizing the image. After that, I sent the picture to Aaron (our teacher) and he printed it out. Once it was printed we flipped the back of the image and put some sort of chemical that would make the image stick to the block. Once the image is on the block, we had to use a wet sponge to slowly remove the white paper from the block. Slowly but surely, the image was clear on the block. The only issue with this part was that I accidentally wiped too hard and some of the images disappeared. After that, we used some oil type chemical so that the picture would show up more clearly. Once we did that, we were done with the project!
