MY JEWELLERY STAND

MY DESIGN... AND THE REAL THING!

• My prototype looked something like this:

AND MY FINISHED PROJECT LOOKED LIKE THIS!

• Big difference!!!!!!!

WHAT TOOLS DID I USE?

• 1. TINY FILES, VACCUM former, G-CLAMP, BAND SAW, FRETE SAW, SAND Paper, orbital sander, hole making thingy... Pillar drill

WHY DID MY FIRST DESIGN NOT WORK?

• Well, trying to cut out a treble clef from wood and then filing away the tiny bits in the middle is hard work, and very fiddly.

PLUS...

• They kept breaking!

DUN...

DUN... DUN!

• Anyway, I eventually saw sense and started all over again!
• By this time we only had 2 lessons left!

FIRST

• I gave up on the treble clef and cut out a small square piece of ply wood, at first I didn't like this as it had lots of layers, I gave it a ridge and painted it white to make it more interesting.

THEN

• Then from the same big piece of ply wood I cut out 2 tiny rectangles on the fret saw and painted them pink, I took a lot of layers to make sure it was opaque. I then stuck these to the base.

• Then a bigger piece was measured (with a ruler!) and cut out using band saw.
• This was to go over/between the two tiny pink bits.

Untitled Slide

• Next I made three shallow holes in the slightly larger piece of ply wood using the pillar drill.
• Ps. That is not a pillar drill I just could find any other type of drill!!!!😂

Untitled Slide

• Then I used the vacuum former To fill in the hole I made with pink plastic, this took lots of tries!
• Next I sanded the front of this leaving only the plastic in the holes, this also took along time!

AT LONG LONG LAST

• Finally Took the pink plastic things and stuck them in the holes using PVA glue.
• Then I stuck the whole piece of wood on top of the the tiny ones.

Untitled Slide

• And that's it, all I did next is draw some musical notes on the base and that was it.

THANK YOU!
