10th lesson of DF

FINALLY, I have vacuumed formed my clock. At the beginning I had to just finish off my layers but it didn't take me very long. Once I had finished my layers I showed Mr Andrews and he said it was good but all I had to do was just sand one of my layers because it was a bit messy. He also said that with my shoelaces because there so SMALL I had to glue them not with a hot glue gun but just normal glue because they were so small. Once I had fixed up my layers and glued my shoelaces I then went to the hot glue gun. It was exciting using one of them because I had never used one before. I was scared I was going to burn myself, but I didn't. Once I finished that I went to go get it vacuumed formed. It was exciting watching the process and nerve racking at the same time because I was wondering if the clock would come out of the plasic in one piece and if the layers would get stuck on the plastic, but it didn't. So all I have to do now is paint it and then get my clock piece.
