14th Week - Table Update

This week in CAD, the rate of production as slowed down. At this point in time some of the necessary  materials for table construction have been used up, so table number four is not 100% finished although it is close. The third table was able to be finished this week and as soon as more materials show up things will go back to normal. Some progress has been made in the construction of the filth table table as well, so this week was not a total loss. Hopefully, next week the class will be able to completely finish a whole table.

13th Week - Table Construction Is Moving Along

This week CAD, I continued to work on the octo-tables. The most recent table to be finished as of this week's end is table number three. The fourth table is near completion and should be ready to stain some time next week. So far everything is going smoothly and the table are turning out really well. The tables from this point on will be coated with a different type of stain that gives it a more naturally uniform dark wood color as apposed to the two color stain that was used on the first two tables.

12th Week - CNC Router Almost Complete

This week in CAD, I helped get the CNC router up and running. We have yet to test out the router because it did not have its full range of motion right out of the box. There was a small group of people working with the machine doing some troubleshooting and with some trial and error we got the router moving how it should be. Hopefully next week there will be some test cuts made and the class will get to start making some interesting 3d structures.  On another note, wood arrived for the learning garden and construction of new tables has begun. The shipments for the group projects have started to arrive as well, so next week we might be able to continue working on our LED pyramid.
