Tech @Tamaki College #6

Today was the first day of  technology this term. When I got into Mr. Grundy's class I got my box, and I started straight away. I put my name on the board for help, and Mr. Grundy came to me. When he approached me he told me to use some water and the 1200 grit to sand my necklace. The next thing I did was polish my necklace with a polishing bottle called 'Brasso.' Then after I finished polishing my artwork , I was given an option weither I wanted to make a box to put my artwork in or not, and yes of course I wanted to make a box, so I did. I choose the colour blue to be and the colour of my box. But I need to glue it on next week.

Today at technology, I got into class and I put my name up on the board.  When my name got called out, I raised my hand and Mr Grundy came up to me and gave me a sand paper which was 400 grit sandpaper. Which means I've made progress. After filing for a long time I got given a 800 grit sandpaper. I am proud that I've made great progress with my project.

Today at Technology I was onto the stage of filling in my report about my pewter casting. On this piece of paper all you have to do is explain what and why you made it, and who it's for. I was also  filing off my pewter casting with a p180 sandpaper grit which was pretty easy. But hopefully next week I get to move on to the next sandpaper grit.  I am actually pleased with how far I have gone with my project.

During hard-material today, my friend and I was onto the second to last stage, which was using a sand paper to smooth out our piece of pewter. Sand paper is a paper to make items smooth and very clear.

While I was on the second to last stage with my friend we both learnt that making a pewter necklace is obviously made with pewter. Pewter is a malleable metal.

These are two examples of what a pewter necklace looks like. I'm doing a puzzle just like the picture on the right.

Today at technology I have moved on to the next step after I fnished cutting out the shape of my necklace. Mr Grundy poured the pewter into my design and letting it sit for 6-7 minutes. Then after that I took it out of the square wood peice and started filing my necklace to which I was satisfied with. But next week I have to finish it off and then cut the end of the piece.
