Reflection 09/05/12

For the last few lessons I have been continuing work on my desk tidy. I cut out all the cylinders that I will be using with the band saw, and then sanded them so that they were smooth. After I finished cutting out everything I would be using I found that I won’t have to alter my design after all, as it will all easily fit.

A small problem that I came across was that my phone is quite heavy, and the stand would need some support or it would snap off. I then decided that I could just cut out a small rectangular piece of acrylic and glue it behind the stand so that it will stay up. I sanded the edges of this piece on a diagonal slant so that it would be easier to glue to the stand and the base of the desk tidy.

At the end of the lesson today I began gluing everything together. So far I have glued the two small cylinders onto the base, and I have glued the stand to its support. I don’t have much left to do, and hopefully I will finish making my desk tidy in the next lesson.
