One of Erika's suggestions during class was to choose a topic that you konw nothing about, do some research and find new, interesting vocabulary to use for poetry.
I chose carpentry.
Two basic types of tools: Hand-guided and Power Based
hand guided tools: chisels, hand saws, framing hammer
Power based tools: circularr saws, electric drills and framing nailers
These tools are used to shape sheet and blocks of wood to correct dimensions for the structure you are ceating.
The function is to cut, thin width and create holes and crooves in the structure.
Some historical tools: The Auger – hand tool with threaded shank and cross handle used for oring holes in wood or ice; a drill bit. The were used for making wagon wheels and musical instruments
Spokeshaves and drawknives were used to shape wooded bowls and wooden chair seats.
Saftey precautions: make sure blades are sharp and guards are in place. Wear saftey glasses and make sure chords are out of the way.
I like the research something new idea. I think you could use these new words and your vast knowledge of crochet and create something cool. You know what I think would be an intresting piece? One that used your crochet and now tools vocaulary and related it to a process. For example write a poem about your writing technique by the vocabulary you have gathered. Or write a poem about how to survive college with again your vocaulary collection. I only say use your terms for a process because it seems like they would be words made for instruction. Or perhaps you could do the form filling exercise with your words. But those are just ideas. I know you have quite and itresting collection of words just by hearing you talk about crochet.
