In design futures I am very close to finishing my LED light. I am up to attaching my lights to my piece of aluminum, and I have already measured our the amount of lights I need and the amount of chord in need. I stripped the ends of my chord and am up to soldering my chords to my lamp.

Today in DF mr Ward helped me bend my aluminum and cut it. i bent it by bending it over a metal cylinder. i also cut off the parts of aluminum i didn't need and sanded the edges. my piece of wood was not stable enough so i had to figure out another way of making it stable Mr Ward thought that i could use glue to stick two pieces of triangular wood together i am happy with my new design and i am close to attaching my aluminum to the wood blocks. i am also looking forward to attaching the LED lights.

Today in DF we finalised our designs and started designing them with materials. We figured out how much waste we would have and the measurements and where we had to cut the alliminuam. I am very happy with how my LED light looks so far. I also cut my piece of wood today, it is cut in half in a shape of a triangle which suits my design. Mr Ward helped me cut out my piece of wood and he also helped me sand it, to make the edges smooth.

Today mr Ward introduced us to iceametrical drawings. He taught us how to convert two dimensional thoughts to three dimensional drawings. I really enjoyed this lesson as I like to draw and create shapes and images.
