This lesson was only my second lesson in the workshop working on my clock so I tried to work very hard so I could get a lot of work done and catch up to the other girls. Everybody was at different stages so we put on our aprons and goggles and then began to work. Once I got out my clock's first wooden layer I made the edges smooth by using sandpaper and a file. The first wooden layer is called MDF (medium density fireboard). After I had done this I glued my other paper layers onto cardboard using normal glue and cut them out using scissors. It is pretty hard to cut out layers because the cardboard is thick. I took my clock home today because I had a couple of other small layers that needed to be cut out that I would do for homework. Some people, including Amy and Hope, have got up to vacuum forming today and their clocks look very good. Mr Andrews showed us the process of vacuum forming so we would know how to do it as a few people might be ready to vacuum form next lesson. Next lesson I will hopefully have all of my layers cut out and so I may be able to use the hot glue gun to glue my layers together. I am enjoying design futures a lot and cannot wait to see what my clock will look like after I have vacuum formed it and finished.
