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.

week 10 term 3

this week was really bad because we had a reliever who made us to do oragamy. i would rather do practical. i have not done much practical work lately. i do need to catch up on making up some top brackets for my base of the light. once i have done that, i need to cut some acrylic and bend it into a circle for the light to come out.

week 9 term 3

This week has been an exiting week as i have got back into doing my dtm work. i have cut of the tabs off the bottom of the base as i have chosen to use rivits and brackets to hold the bottom of the base in. i have made up 4 brackets out of aluminium and these are going to be riveted onto my cylinder. i have also cut my cylinderin half so it is not as high. The light is not going to be using the big lead acid battery so it looked slightly rediculous with it being so high. i am now going to use 4 double a rechargable batteries.

week 8 term 3

This week has been exam week so it has been a real problem for me as i have not been able to do any of the practical things that i like i this course. this is the main problem i have encountered

week 7 term 3

this week i have cut my slab of aluminium in half for my light as it was too ig and he light would look quite ugly. i need to do a bit of work on the body of my light as it looks a bit shabby. i have made alot of progress though

my bottom plate for my light
