What we are using to make our designs is plywood. Plywood is made entirely of plies and these plies are pushed together to make one board of timber. The layers of grains are placed at rige tht angles to each other.
plywood is an extremely sof type of timber and it's shape can be easily alltered with sandpaper.

Today I worked on my safety tests while people hot their clock part, where the hands are connected, fitted into their clocks. It was really frustrating doing these tests because I kept having to re-do them and it got on my nerves. By the end of the lesson I had accomplished nothing not even the test I had been working on, which was the van saw. It was very unproductive.

Today I started working on my evaluation I ,an aged to finish roughly but I am still planning on editing it. It was great because I was one of the few people who actually finished. We got to watch a more advanced design futures group work on something. We were also given strict instructions to be absolutely silent so that we could concentrate and the class could concentrate.

Today I got my design vacuume formed! I was so exited when Mr Andrews told me that I could start vacuum forming. I grabbed a hot glue gut and started to hot glue but there was one problem. For some reason my hot glue gun was not working. I tried turning it on and off I tried plugging it in to the second plug but it just wasn't working! I predict that either the hot glue gun was broken or there was something wrong with the plugs above our table. Eventually I got my second and third layers glued on with another tables glue gun. It was so exiting watching my clock being vacume formed and seeing the clear plastic fall over it! I found out also that my clock can be made again easily because non of the parts in my clock fell off!

Today was not very productive. Because so many people still have not finished their on guard training we still haven't been able to get into the workshop! It is really frustrating! Mr Andrews told the people who have not finished the essential on guard training to get a wriggle on. He says that if we do not get into the workshop soon we will not finish our clocks! I really do not want that to happen!
