Sarah's Heater Shield Project

Sarah has been studying Great Britain in social studies.  As a class project, she had to make a shield with a coat of arms on it.  She chose to make a heater shield with our family crest on it.

STEP 1:  Sarah made a ton of drawings for her shield design.

STEP 2:  She made a poster board template of the shield and taped it to the 1/4 plywood and traced out the shape.

STEP 3:  She cut out the shape on the bandsaw very carefully.

STEP 4:  She hand sanded the edges.

STEP 5:  She smoothed out the shape using a drum sander on the drill press.

STEP 6:  She made a temple for the snowflakes that represent her as the third daughter of the family.

STEP 7:  She drew out and painted the coat of arms on the board.

Here is Sarah proudly displaying her final product.
