Week 32

This week I continued working on my pedalboard project. I started off the week by making a cardboard test of the project. Everything seemed to fit together perfectly and the sizes seemed like they would work well. The only issue I saw was that the three legs may not be enough. I decided that I would cut it out in wood after the cardboard and see how sturdy it was in wood.

I then moved on to cutting out the final version. I was not sure what material I wanted to use at first but I ended up using wood. I got the wood version cut out and started gluing the legs on.

After I got the wood version back from gluing it, it was sturdier than I thought it would be. I put pressure on it and tried to test it as best I could without the pedals and decided that It was probably best to cut out a few extra legs and glue them on so I did that on Thursday. I also added the new legs to the CAD model.
