Blog 11: Mentorship 10 Hours Check

1.   Where are you doing your mentorship?

For my mentorship I either go to Orange County with my mentor David Wade and talk to him about my independent component, woodworking techniques, advice, and sometimes help with his projects. If not then I go with my primary mentor (my father) and he makes me practice some techniques in the garage; such as joinery, finishings, sanding, chiseling, using a planer etc. And currently they have been both helping me design my independent component.
2.   Who is your contact?

 David Wade located in Orange County and Paul Yanes

3.   How many total hours have you done (total hours should be reflected in your mentorship log located on the right hand side of your blog like your WB)?   

I have not been recording my hours on my blog, but I have kept track on my phone, with Davide Wade I've done 10 hours, with Paul Yanes I've done a total of 80 hours (which is up to date). In total it is 90 hours since I have started my project.
4.   Summarize the 10 hours of service you did.

The ten hours of service I recently did with David wade was primarily a meeting with him to help me figure out a way to have my independent component show one of my answers to my EQ. So I met with him for three saturdays (about 3 hours each visit) and we drew out ideas and talked about which type of wood to use, which joinery, how to make the design, which finishings to use, the function of my project, and we experimented with woods to understand how they work. He helped me a lot because i realized how much there was to take into consideration such as the finishing, the environment it would be placed in, the warping of the wood itself, the temperature I would be making it in, the wood type, the joinery, and function.
