This is the wood after I ran it through the planer saw a couple times to make it have more even & smooth surfaces.

before

I had a large piece of wood that needed to be cut.

after

I cut it into half longways. I gave away one side because I only need 1

Cut list

This is the cut list I made for my computer stand. Here are all the pieces I need to cut out.

planned table picture

our new project is to make a computer stand, mine will have folding legs. This is the computer stand I want to make.

Camera pull apart 2

I have now successfully taken the camera apart their are lots of parts in the camera. I was right about the parts in the camera as you can see from all the parts above.

Camera Pull apart

Today in class I am taking apart this camera. This camera can record a 360 degrees angle. I think there is a lens, screws, bolts, and a battery in this camera.

constraints

these are the projects contraints

3d design project

This is the scheduale for the mini project. We have 5 total class periods to finish it.

Possible ideas

Today I looked around the internet to find wood designs that I could make.

Idea developement

My idea

My idea is to build a box that has mutiple areas to store things.

Day 1 construction

progress

Today in class I used the band saw and the belt sander, to cut my walls. I cut out 5 of my walls using the band saw and sanded them to remove splinters.

Day 2 construction

progress

Today in class I used the band saw and the belt sander, to cut my walls. I cut out more of my walls using the band saw and sanded them to remove splinters.

Day 3 construction

I cut more sides out for my project. Using the bandsaw and sander.

Day 4 construction

I started to assemble my pieces into boxes. I used wood glue and a nail gun to hold them together.

Final product

progress

This is my project it is a box with dividers. The project size constraints were to be less than 18x18x18 and the final dimensions are . It was expected that my project was made out of 6 or more parts. My project has been made out of 7 parts. I give my craftsmanshhip a 7/10 for this proect because the cuts are not perfectly straight and their are overhanging edges.

Reflection

The part of my project I am most proud of is the sides that fit together perfectly. Not all the sides fit perfectly together but the ones that are look good. The box is 8 1/4" x 9" x 4 3/4"

4 LIGHT PATTERNS

I have four light patterns for my geolamp.

yellow chaser
white chaser
yellow and white flash
yellow then white flash

Final box Assembly

I assembled this box buy using tape, wood glue, and small amounts of hot glue. I used the tape and hot glue to keep the sides together while the wood glue dried

Coding

In this phase of my project I worked on coding my geolamp with three different light patterns.

Designing my lamp

Before I could assemble my geolamp I had to make a inkscape file for the pieces. I measured my prototype and then added each shape individually to inkscape.

Cutting out my pieces

I cut out my shapes by using a website called glowforge, glowforge connects to a laser printer and allows you to use it or cut or engrave things. First added the inkscape file to the glowfrorge website. Next I moved few things around to make them all fit. Then lastly I put in the material and started it.

Today I learned I am going to make geometric motion lamp.

Above are the requirements for the lamp. To be considered advanced there will be some extra constraints.

Above are the steps that we are going to take for the electronics/coding portion of the project

Above are the steps we are going to take for the physical enclosure portion of the project.

First prototype

The first prototype I made of my bolt was a practice become better befre doing the second prototype.

Second prototype

I made my seond prototype with a laser cutter for exact cuts. I madde this one to hold the leds,wires, and motherboard.

Third prototype

I made this prototype with the laser cutter as well. But in this on I tried my best to make it perfectly.

Cardboard 3D cube

Today I measured and cut out cardboard to make a cube. We hot glued it together to make all the pieces connect.

Getting my external light to blink

Today I coded my Pico. I also added 2 wires and an led.

We had to plug the wires into the Pico at GND and GP14

Getting my internal light to blink

Today I coded my Pico so that it would blink slower and faster.

Stop light pattern

Today I coded my device to make a stop light pattern, and it does all the colors of the stop light.

Drawing 4 or more spp development sketches

Today I drew four shapes I could possibly use for my project.

Design drawing

Today I drew up my model of my lamp. I included leds and a neopixel

Today i made a cut list for the shapes i need

I drew numbers for the number of shapes I need.

Assebling my first prototype

I taped together all my pieces. When I did this it was pretty hard to do the smalle pieces

Second prototype

Today I made my second prototype of my geo lamp. The hardest part was fitting the wires inside of the box.

Today we learned we are going to make bandsaw boxes as our first project.

The purpose of the project is to learn how to use the tools safety.

These are the skills we are expected to learn from the end of the project.

Practice Puzzle 1 & 2

Today was the first time we used the band saw so we mad a puzzle.

Today we made another puzzle using the bandsaw.

Bandsaw Safety We have now been trained to operate the bandsaw safely. Here are so do's and don'ts to follow while operating the bandsaw.

Do Don't

1) Stay focused 1) Leave on

2) Clean up after 2) Cut fingers

3) Wear goggles 3) Break the tools

planer saw safety

We have now been trained to operate the planer saw safety. Here are some do's and don'ts to follow while operating the planer.

Do's Don'ts

-Attach the vacuum -Don't use wood with with nails in it

-Wear safety equipment -Cut anything other than wood

-Unplug after use -Don't look into the saw when its on

miter saw safety

We have now been trained to operate the planer saw safety. Here are some do's and don'ts to follow while operating the miter saw.

Do's Don'ts

-Hands behind the safety line -Put the wire in way of saw

-Clean after finished -Reach under blade when its spinning

-Wear safety equipment -Have tie hanging out

Stencil

Today we are customizing our box with a stencil of our names, but first we had to make our stencil.

Bandsaw glue up

Today we glued the two pieces of wood together so that we have a box.

Before and after cutting off the sides

My practice stencil

I put a stencil with my name on it onto some cardboard to practice, then I spray painted it.

I peeled back the sticker and this is what I got.

Technical sketching practice

In this image I drew cubes with openings in them. We learned how and wear to shade in the shape.

In this image I drew a cube with two holes in it. This image is where I really began to understand depth,

In this image I drew three cubes connected to each other. We were practicing how to draw shapes further down the construction lines.

In this image I drew a cube. This was the first drawing practice I did.

In this image I drew a charger box. The most challenging part of this illustration was to draw the metal pieces at the end of the box.

In this image I drew a wood block our teacher showed us in class.

Cutting the middle out

Today in class we cut out the middle of the box to make a ramp like figure. We used the bandsaw to cut out the box and practiced with a smaller box.

Glueing sides back on

Today in class we glued back on the sides of the box. We put glue on the sides and glued the pallets of wood back on. After I glued i put clamps onto the box.

Sanding the inside

Today I sanded the inside of my box to make it smoother.

Sanding the box smooth

Today in class I sanded my box so that it is completely smooth.

Tinker cad knob

Today I designed a knob for my box. I decided on a diamond shape.

3d printed knob

Today I printed my diamond shaped knob for my box. I used my design on tinker cad for this shape.

name on box

Today in class I spray painted my name onto a box using a stencil. I had tape over the parts that I didn't want to get painted.

Staining

Today I used some wood stainer to stain my wood. I learned not to add much stain to my cloth.

Glueing handle on

Today I glued on my handle to the lid of my box.

Finished products

After I glued I put back on my lid to see if everything would fit well and it did.
