Plastics at Tech

 HI! This term, we have been doing plastics at Technology. We had made a swirly wirly. We had to choose the acrylic that we wanted. We first started disc sanding the acrylic to make the edges and corners smooth into a circular shape. We then started making the edges cleaner. We then started buffing the edges with the buffing machine.  After that, we peel off the protective coating on both sides of the acrylic and then we put it inside the machine that melts it. After that, we grab the acrylic  from machine and twist into a swirly wirly. 

Have you ever done anything like this?

Tech.

Every Monday, my hub goes to Tech. 
At Tech, you get to learn and try stuff like cooking, woodwork, plastics ETC.
Currently, I am doing woodwork and in woodwork, we are making a box. 
Throughout the first 2 weeks, we made a key chain about anything, 
I decided to make a key chain that says b because 
b is the first letter of my name. Before we got to use our first machine,
 we had to watch and learn. 
After we planned out what we were gonna make for our key chains, 
we drilled a hole. After I drilled, I used a countersink.
 We then did a quiz on if we could name the tools and I got 6/8. 
Right now, we are very close to making the box as last session,
 we cut some wood for the box and countersunk them. 
We also learnt some drawings and some measurements about 3D drawings.
