Tech Reflection

Today was our last day in Pewter Casting with Mr Grundy. What we did today some people were finishing of water sanding, some were taking there pendants home and some were finishing of there work books. I want to thank Mr Grundy for being our teacher for this rotation during Pewter Casting, we had a lot of fun while he was teaching us. In this rotation I managed to make a pendant and finish a box, which I gave to my mother and she really liked it. I can't wait for our next rotation.

Today for Tech year 8 group A went to Pewter Casting with Mr Grundy. Today everyone were starting to finish of our designs. I started of by filing the edges of my design to make the out side of it smoother and easier to sand it. After I finished using the fills I put them back where I found them, I went to Mr Grundy and I told him that I had finished filling, he told me that I needed to fill the edges and the inside a little better so I did not have lumps and bumps all over it. I finished doing it properly than I showed him and okay but there was a little corner on the design that was not cut into the wood when I cut it. So he cut the little corner into my Pewter design, when he finished he gave me a piece of grit sand paper which was the lowest that we could start with and than he could give me a higher number of sand paper even more and more the Pewter got softer. This was really fun to do but I only finished the first part of doing the sand papering.

Today for Tech we were finishing of Design Development slides. After we finished of our designs we used a paper with grids on it to make our designs 3 D. We tried to trace our designs from our screens. It was quiet hard because I could not see it quiet well. After I drew my design I shaded it with hot and cold colors. We did it but we will be finishing it to next week.

I thank Mrs Heka for all her help and advice will we were cooking. It was a great year at Tamaki Collage and a great year with Mrs Heka. It was a amazing experience.
