Term 2 Week 9
On Monday I was working on my mould yet again. I sanded down curves so they were even more in line then they've ever been before. I measured exactly 100mm up from the bottom of each of the 7 mould pieces and then got Kenji to cut them in half. I then got Terry to cut a piece of MDF for the bottom of the mould. I then carefully sanded down the mould pieces. On Wednesday i was sick and missed out on DTM. Today i'll be working on SolidWorks and may start to research R180 Epoxy Resin & Double Bias Roving Fibreglass. Next week i hope to complete my mould.

Term 2 Week 8
On Monday period 3 i was working on my mould again. I sanded down all the pieces evenly to the point where they were exact replicas of each other. I also drew up the dimensions on a piece of paper. On the second period of our double-period i was helping Kenji (as Kenji, Sam & I are in a gang together) to drill holes and screw in the mould pieces into a bit of MDF. Today i'm writing this reflection, updating mould photos and continuing on with my SolidWorks design. Tomorrow i hope to help Sam drilling and screwing his mould together. Next week i should be able to finish my mould (as Sam and Kenji will help me in drilling & screwing, as i helped them...)

Term 2 Week 7
This week I was working on my mould again. I sanded down 5 of the 7 pieces so their curves were exactly the same. However i hadn't cut the curvature on piece 5 so I cut it out aswell. I also began sanding it down to size. Today i'm blogging (adding mould photos and reflections) and updating my calendar. I also hope to begin on my final design for my longboard deck on solidworks, as i will be continuing on this tomorrow. Next week i hope to complete my mould (as we're having three practicals) and try to finish my solidworks final design.

Term 2 Week 6
We had no DTM on monday due to Queens Birthday, meaning we missed out on double practical. Today i'm posting reflections, photos and updating my calendar as we are in the com rooms. I also hope to jog my memory on the last solidworks tutorial, so i can begin on my actual longboard. Tomorrow we are doing practical and i hope to sand down my mould so the pieces have even curves. Next week i hope to finish my mould all together and begin on my real longboard solidworks thingy.
