reflective practice

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.

term4 week 1

this week i have to focus on getting my blogger finished before week 4. my goal is to completely get my blog finished and pass with excellence. i also want to get my garden light finished. ill need to blog from home.

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.
