2. How is your project relevant to you? How is it relevant to the school? How
is it relevant to the community?
The Capstone Project helped me solidify my interest in working in the field. When
I applied for the carpentry program, I was still unsure whether it was something
that I wanted to do in the future. Whether or not I would excel in it. My project
showed me that carpentry wasn’t easy, but it was fun and worth pursuing for the
next couple years.
I was most proud of the building project. I faced a multitude of problems, such as
not having the tools, incorrect measurements, and not having enough time to do
the project. Despite these setbacks, I was able to create a functional stable
project in the end. It wasn’t perfect because I had to sacrifice some features in
order to finish the project. I was happy with what I created.
6. What is the one thing you would have changed about your project if you
could?
If I could go back, I would invest in tools, such as a square tool, and redo the
whole project. Lacking tools made my project inconsistent. It was slightly angled
on some parts, and it wasn’t as seamless as I wanted it to be. Investing in
something like a square tool would’ve fixed that problem.
7. What advice would you offer to future Capstone students to help them
with their Capstone journey?
Make sure to pick something that you are truly passionate about, so it will not
feel as much as chore, but something that you are doing for fun. The last thing
you want is to have something sitting around, which you aren’t proud about. If
you will be spending 40 hours on something you might as well, make it interesting
for you.
