Starting on My Desk Tidy

So far I have had two lessons in the workshop making my desk tidy. In this first lesson I cut out two squares of acrylic and glued them together for the base. In the next lesson I sanded this down into the shape of a circle and cut out and sanded the piece I am using for my iPhone stand. So far everything has gone well, except for the colour of the acrylic for the base. When I chose it I thought that it was solid black, and I didn't realise that it was transparent until the end of the lesson. I have decided to keep working with this colour as I don't want to waste time remaking the base.
