Senior Week 6

This week I continued working on my stool project. At the end of last week I spoke to Mr. L and ask him to look over my design. He noticed a mistake with my sniglets. I misunderstood and thought that they were supposed to be at an angle but in reality they should be at a 90 degree angle from the cut. I spent some of Friday last week fixing these mistakes and some time this week as well.

Once I finished that I moved on to getting ready to lasercut a cardboard test version. It took a little bit to get it into Inkscape because it wouldn't allow me to for a couple of tries. I also had to find a piece of cardboard that would be able to fit the stool because of how big it is.

Once I found a piece and got all of the Inkscape files working I cut it out and It came out great. I cant see anything that I want to change and I am very happy with the design so far. I'm excited to see how it will come out in wood.
