Df Reflection-2

Today in class Mr Ward taught us how to shape and join the plastic in order to make our desk tidies. Here is some things I learnt:

• Polymers- we are using acrylic plastic.


• acrylic tubing- there are three different sizes


• there is PVC pipe


• the glue we use is acrylic cement glue


• the strip heater(used to bend the plastic in a strip.


• the oven-heats the plastic so you can beng it in any shape.


• use the bandsaw to cut the plastic - sand the edges after so it is smooth.


• use a power drill to drill a hole into the plastic-use the spade bits


• to drill always ues clamps


• drill close to the clamp.


• you can also use a drill press but Mr Ward preffers us to use the drill.
