Hours in 10a.m. - 5:20p.m. (7hrs20mins total)
Job - Maker
10a.m. - 11a.m.
Sat down with design team and discussed where we are currently (small production meeting) Spoke about jobs that we are able to do before the wood is delivered and what can be done over the remainder of the week, make of the game spinner and the clapper board prize.
11a.m. - 1p.m.
Started to build game spinner, marked out a circle on 6mm MDF, then marked out the base also on the 6mm MDF. Using a band-saw me and another student cut out the base and the face getting as close to the drawn line as possible.
Before moving on to using a disk sander to round the edges and give a smoother finish.
After this I hand sanded the edges to get rid of any pieces missed.
From this we moved onto drawing out the arrow pointer. Another student cut out the arrow pointer which after I hand sanded to smooth out any rough edges and give softer curves.
Once done we found some thicker blocks of wood using the band saw we cut a line into the arrow pointer and one of the blocks of wood.
(Marked out the line for cutting)
After we cut 2 small strips of acrylic (one was too flimsy) and slot these into the channels we cut.
After these were placed into the channels, using filler I then covered over the exposed channel to give a smooth flat surface.
1p.m. - 2p.m.
We moved onto fixing the broken frames, Taking out the old screws and replacing them with newer longer screws, as the old ones were coming loose as the screws were too short.
2p.m. - 5:20p.m.
Once the filler had dried, I hand sanded down the filler.
We glued the two pieces of wood together to give the appropriate height wood so the pointer doesn't hit the surface of the spinner, we clamped the two pieces of wood together to hold them in place whilst they dried.
We then marked out the sections on the face of the spinner, this gave us the points as to where we need to put our nails which will stop the arrow.
After discussing this with the crew, the consensus was that nails wouldn't be aesthetically pleasing to the overall look and so I instead suggested using dowel rod, which the team agreed would look better and give a more professional look. After getting some dowel rod I marked out the lengths and using a small hack saw cut the lengths needed.
After we hand sanded the tops, making them more rounded and smooth,
I marked out on the face where the dowels would need to be, and then using a drill, I drilled holes into the face to attach the dowel into.
Then using hot glue, I attached the rods to the face.
