The document describes the process of shaping a rectangular piece of wood into a cylindrical shape like a chick. It discusses using a rasp file to smooth the straight sides into rounded edges, which reduced the size of the original piece. A video shows the process of filing, which took a lot of effort. The author was happy to achieve the circular shape but their hands were red from the work. Their next steps are to finish filing the chick and start work on leaves, and perhaps work on it during lunch breaks.
