Term 2 Week 10

On Monday i was working on my mould (yet again). I sanded down the pieces that i had cut on the previous Monday. I also laughed at Sam because he got sawdust poured down his hood then put his hood on, showering his head with sawdust. On Wednesday the class voted that we do practical that day then computers on Thursday. I got bad news from Terry that we were only allowed to use four pieces on our moulds. This upset many people as they had already done 6-7 pieces. I was unhappy because my mould consists of 7 pieces. I also found out (this week) that we would not be using flax in our boards (I already thought the flax was a bad idea), making most of term 1's work a waste of time. I started measuring where the mould pieces will eventually lie on a piece of MDF. Terry laid down the first test board (Toms) on Monday. The test board (see pics) broke as a result of not enough time in the mould (2 days as opposed to the ideal 7). Today im blogging and may continue with solidworks. Over the next two weeks we have holidays so i will continue working next term.
