this is my reflective practice. it is about what i think of dtm.

week 3 term 4






this week has been full on and time is running out. i came on saturday and i cut out the top on the cam machine. the top was made of acrylic but a problem i had encountered was the rivet had cracked the plastic so i had to make another one. that sucked but i will screw the top into the box so it wont crack. im nearly finished and mow all i have to do is put my solar circuit into the box. i am happy with my light so far and i think i can completly finish it

term 4 week 2








this week has been a very busy week. i have done alot of practical as there is not much time and i really need to get this all done. i have made a top of my aluminium box and i have also made a
plastic cylinder for the light to shine through. this also protects the light. i need to rivit brackets on to hold on the plastic cylinder and then i need to make up some more brackets. once i have done that, i will need to put a top onto my light and them wire it up. this week has been a good week and im pretty close to finishing.

holidays

in the holidays, i had attended a course through school for help with NCEA. i thought it was quite boring but it would help later on in the NCEA exam. the second week was quite quiet though. i cleaned up my workshop and repaired lots of stuff. i cut down all of these trees and got $10 so i went to cash converters and got 2 uhf radios. i got some batteries for them. i also went sailing and i installed this heater in my friends boatshed. the heater is good because if you are wet from sailing then you turn it on and it is very warm. i had a fun holiday.
