Jordan_styrene_Final
The key to this project was careful measuring and procedure. It was very easy to get lost if you did not know your next move. I began by sketching each piece individually so I could decide where each piece would go and which piece/pieces needed to be there when it arrived. I cut the three pieces that required circles by using the drill press and circle cutter. From there I glued the two back pieces to the base and added supports. I quickly learned the 20mil front panel was not strong enough so I needed to build a stronger 40mil wall for it to rest upon. By taking careful measurements I wrapped the "Tail" of the 20mil front panel around the side. Next I cut and welded the side strip between the two back pieces. Finally, I cut a 1/4 strip in the top piece and wrapped in over. I then sanded and removed the pencil marks with bleach.
