Hi I am Mark Chan. So, at the first I chose what I would want to make, so I chose a lamp, because everyone is making a lamp and if you make a lamp the teacher is going to give a light bubble which are i think more valuable hahahaha. So, I decide to make a rectangle shape, because I tried to make the pyramid and circle, the pattern that I designed just doesn’t fit on it. So, I made the rectangle shape.
When I am designing the pattern on the wood peace, I wants a logo or a thing on the wood peace, but I remember that Ms. Kim said that if you now make something you like, in the father you might not like the pattern anymore, so you are choosing a pattern that you could keep for a long time. So, I noticed I like the pattern of tree branches when I am in the first grade, so I decide to make tree branches pattern for my lamp. I considered that I would draw the pattern very detail because it is going to be cut. So, I used my iPad and used the app procreate. I made four bottoms the same and the designed a top. After I design it, I draw the tree branches pattern onto the fusion. In the process of drawing, I notice that I don’t want the fingers, or it will be unorganized. So, I ask Ms. Kim that if I can connect all of I wooden Pieces without any fingers, and she says yes so, I did a no finger lamp. I put the thinness into 5mm (about 0.2 in) so it can be stronger even without the fingers. So, after I put it on the fusion, I put my design into the Lightburn, and I changed the place of putting the wooden pieces so that it stays in a board.
After class, I got the cardboard version. The cardboard is not exactly 5mm (about 0.2 in) it is about 7 mm (about 0.28 in), so the peace’s does not really fit, but it is still correct. So, I put it into wood peace, and after the wood peace’s have come out. I want to put all four sides together, for each wooden piece there is one side that has burn on it and one side has not but crack, so I put the burning side facing outside so that I could color it after. I ask a teacher so help me to glue all the sides together, mine is kind of hard to connect because I don’t have fingers on it, so the teacher give me a tools that can stable all the four peace’s and then I glue the peace’s together and then we used the tool to stable it. After a class of waiting, in the next class I got my lamp off from the tools, and I began to use sandpaper to squish it util the connect point is flat. After I sand it, I decided to add paper on my lamp like the others, but I forgot to color it, so I used the time from a whole class to add paper onto it. I also putted the paper on the top so that the paper covers it in 360 degrees. And after I added paper on my lamp, I realized that I forgot to color the burning side, but I cannot color it now because I already have paper on it or otherwise the paper will be colored in colors. So, I just skip this part, and I began to glue my top to my side, but one thing I notice that is the paper cover the whole top, so if I want to glue it to the body, it will be glue onto the paper. So I ask ms kim and ms kim said that it is ok because paper is also wood, so I just glue it, and I also put a thing will a heavier weight in order to keep the top sticking on the body. In between in this time, I saw my classmates are using color markers to color onto their lamp and wood pieces while Jason are still playing games. So I decide to also use color markers to color on my wooden pieces. I draw a leave with a lots of different kind of green and I continue to draw leaves until the class had ended, and when the next class start, ms kim start to talk about 3D models. So, I think I would use the color marker to draw on the burning side so that I could cover it. Hahahahaha and I think that’s it. I am about to take my lamp home now.
