DF

Today was a very productive day. I started to glue my base to my back stand. And to do this I had to use acrylic glue which turned out to be a bit of a pain because it took quite a while to at least dry so for about 15-20 minutes of the lesson I had to hold it together. Once it dried I still had to let it secure so I clamped it together with a clamp. Once that was completed I had decided to start creating my ipad stand. So I cut a piece of grey plastic out and smoothed it out with the sander and started to measure where to bend.
This is my sketch of my desk tidy so far:

DF (Workshop)

For the past week I have actually been in the workshop which is great. So far I have actually done the base in parts and now all i need to do is glue it together to make it stable and one piece.
