This week on monday we showed Mr. Rojas our ideas for the paper and tool organizer.  On Tuesday we redesigned our ideas a little bit and looked at the material that we will make it out of.  Wednesday we worked with the CNC machine and talked about acrylic for the front panel.  Thursday we talked about some other placement options for the paper.  Friday we started 3D modeling the orginazer.

This week on Monday we talked with Mr. Rojas and discussed how he would like us to document our project.  We also finished up organizing our cabinets by number order. On Tuesday we talked with MR. Rojas on what he would like us to work on next.  He would like us to make an organizer that holds the paper A and B sizes, rulers, the drawing compasses, and the calibers.  He also would like a somewhat flat top so he can put stuff on top or so kids have somewhere to put the things that they are taking out while they are still taking stuff out. On Wednesday we started brain storming and drawing up some different solutions.  We realized that we are going to need two levels for the paper to save room and be able to put more stuff on top of the cabinets.  Thursday we kept working on designing the best layout for the top of the cabinets.  Next week we are going to discuss what is the best design and merge our designs together and by the end of next week hopefully have a final design.  We did not have school on Friday.

This week we marked 48-59 drawers.  Then I had to laser cut some more stencils for us to number the drawers 60-72.  We then finished numbering all of the drawers.  Next week we are planning on adjusting or Google sheet of were our screws are.  We are also planning on starting a holder for the papers that will go on top of the cabinets.

This week we got caught up on labeling each drawer.  We talked with Mr. Rojas about the CNC machine on Wednesday.  Then we went back to labeling the drawers.  Friday we cut out another 12 stencils for next week.  We should finish this part by the end of next week.

This week I laser cut a lot of stencils and I had to cut some again because they did not cut all the way through.  I think I have just started to figure out the perfect setting for the laser cutter to cut through the card stock most efficiently.  This Friday I was absent due to an admitted students day at the University I would like to attend.  Next week we are going to label a bunch of drawers to get caught up with how much I cut out this week.  We also moved the newer CNC machine around a little bit so people can walk around it easier.

This week we did a lot of setting up the machines in the wood shop.  We started by setting up the water jet by connecting it to the water line in the wall.  We then took the chuck off an old broken router to see if it will fit on to the old CNC machine.  It ended up fitting.  Then we put together the air compressor for the vacuum table but we still need a hose to connect the air compressor to the table.  We tested out to see if our stencils will fit on the drawers we need to number.  We would like to start labeling by next week and get the vacuum table done by next week.  Then on Friday we went to see if our school Chromebooks could run the code for the new CNC machine, which they cannot.
