MS-Elective-S1-Emrys

=Design Folder - Emrys= =Evaluation 12/1/12= I think that my product has been a good success and that it has solved the UQ and it will help me and anyone else that has to use it and now I will never be disorganized again. My product has also met with my design specification completely and for that it was been another success.The process to making my project was relatively problem free and it was very easy to make and i think that the finish and the colours are very very good. =Process Journal 10/1/12= Today I finished my entire project YAY MEEEE. :-p =Process Journal 6/12/11= Today in the Lab i continued painting my Shelves =Process Journal 4/12/11= Today in the lab i stated painting my shelves I painted them red so that they would stand out against the white =Process Journal 29/11/11= Today in the lab i finished my painting and next class it will be more or less finished. =Process Journal 27/11/11= Today in the lab I started my painting and i have decided that i will paint it all white and i have also got my shelves so it will be more complete. =Process Journal 23/11/11= Today in the Computer Lab i worked on my design folder i like to think that it is now a bit more complete. =Process Journal 21/11/11=

Today in the lab i started my sanding (again) i have now got my pieces all completely level and i am very happy :-). But i am however unhappy that the photo i took was a bit blurry!!!
=Process Journal 17/11/11= Today in the Lab i finally finished putting my project together it feels really good to know that the hard part is finished next i will paint or varnish my project depending on what Mr Muller says. =Process Journal 13/11/11= Today in the lab i finished half of my project by putting in the last of the nails and the glue had dried... =Process Journal 9/11/11= Today in the lab Mr Muller took apart my project :-(. then i started to glue it back together and the =Process Journal 2/11/11= Today in the lab I put my project together and I decided that I was going to glue and nail my project together and i shall start on his in the next class =Process Journal 31/10/11= Did Not Work In The Lab. :-) =Process Journal 26/10/11= Today i spent lots of time on the computer working on my process journals and my Wiki. I hadnt done a journal since the 12th WHOOPS. =Process Journal 24/10/11= We didnt do any work today as Mr Muller showed us this really cool video on Design Technology. It was really cool to see how stuff we use everyday was made!!!! =Process Journal: 20/10/11= Did Not Work In The Lab :-) =Process Journal: 18/10/11= Today i completed my sanding and seeing as it was a shortened class today i could not do much else.I felt happy that i have finished the sanding because that is one job out of the way! =Process Journal: 16/10/11= Today in the lab i did a bit more sanding and after i looked at my pieces i saw that the indents were made in my wood so the shelves can be put in a taken out as and when is needed. This i thought was quite cool so i got my picture taken with it and this is it. =Process Journal: 12/10/11= Today in the lab I focused on my sanding I got halfway through one piece of wood. I felt surprised about the amount of effort needed to sand just one side of wood. I felt like I was doing the things that I needed to do so that felt good and enjoyable. =Process Journal: 10/10/11= Today I started to make the outline of my shelves so that they would slide in easily. I didn't change anything in my plan because I didn't think that there was any need at the moment. When I was doing the work I felt a sense of achievement that my design would be coming together very soon.
