Week #4 9/24 - 9/29

This week from Tuesday to Thursday I was working on getting my broom holder project cut out and finished. I started by cutting out all the pieces on the CNC router. There were a few hiccups' during this step but I was able to fix them. Next I had to cut off the tabs from the pieces. This step showed me that if I was doing this project again I would definitely chose pocket cuts instead of tabs since there is a cleaner look to them, and less sanding involved. After removing the tabs I sanded all the pieces. after sanding it was finally time to stain so I chose my desired color and recruited my classmate Anthony Cartolano so that it would be finished faster. Then all that was left to do was laser engrave my name onto the top and fill it with the brooms.

Here are some photos of the finished broom holder.

This video show me laser engraving my name onto the broom holder.

This is a video of the router cutting out part of the broom holder.
