Red flag

This week I spent 8 hours on my project. About 3 hours of research. 2 of class and mentor meetings and 3 of hands on work. For hands on work I used a stud finder that ms. Freeman let me borrow to try to find a stud and that didn't work because my walls are made out of wood not Sheetrock. So I had to do some research on how to find a stud in a wood wall and I could buy.a whole different stud finder but instead of doing that I am just going to use a small nail close to the floor to find the first stud and measure out from there. The research I did was how to find a stud behind a wooden wall. I also did a lot if studying for me test in welding witch will help me with my project with the knowledge I gained about the field of welding. I had a mentor meeting and during it is when I got the stud finder and we talked about how it worked and how I had a wooden wall so it might not work. We also talked about my past week work of the new metal I had to order and my test that I took this week. My journal entries this week were about the stud finder because I did not have any shop time due to the test. I was in class this week I did not have to use my journal because I was late to class and when I got there we were just discussing how everyone's project was going. My fulfillment of the WISE requirements was pretty good because although I did not have much shop time I still found ways to move forward in my project instead of just coming to a halt. My play for the next week is to get the metal in that I for ordered and get to work on building it because shortly after I have the metal I should finish the mount pretty quickly.
