1/13 - 1/17

This week, I went back to the word clock project since I finished the gift for my mom and was still waiting for the panel mount for my layered art box project to be delivered. This week, Kim and I got all of the acrylic letters, all the clear acrylic, and all the diffusers cut out. On Wednesday, we didn't do any laser cutting because it was an early release, meaning we didn't have as much time. Instead, we decided to figure out just how much wooden pieces we'd have to cut out and how many slabs of wood we would need. When we added everything up, we found out we would need 4 slabs of 1/8" wood and 8 slabs of 1/4" wood. The panel mount that I ordered for my other project came early on Wednesday, so next week I'm going to finish my layered art box.

We figured out we needed 158 pieces of 1/4" wood and 72 pieces of 1/8" wood. We also found out that each slab of wood would be able to fir 21 cuts on each. This allowed us to figure out that we needed 4 slabs of 1/8" wood and 8 slabs of 1/4" wood.
