Design Futures

Today in class we were in the workshop. Firstly I marked out where the holes needed to go. This using the drill drilled through the aluminuim then wood. After this i screwed the nails in to check the holes were big enough. After this i unscrewed the nails and sanded the wood. i struggled to drill the holes becasue you have to do it straight down and i couldn't as the top of the curved aluminum was in the way. I also struggled to use the screw driver to put the nails in, as the holes were maybe too small so it was hard to put them in. I am happy with my lamp so far but i am worrie dthat my lamp may not be very stable, so i have made the base bigger than the width and aluminium which still looks good but may make the lamp more stable.

Next lesson we are being taught how to do the hole for the lamp cord.
