February 1,I wasn't at school Monday. February 2On Tuesday Rachel and I finished drawing the bolt on Autodesk Inventor. Before we finished the sketch design of it, but we finally figured out how to get the drawing of it, which there we could get the measurements we needed. We then got a 1 inch thick cylinder of aluminum and cut it to the size we need, which we chose it to be 2 inches long. After we finished cutting the aluminum to the right size, we then moved it onto the lathe where we would face the cylinder. Facing is when you take off the outer layer of your object when on the lathe, making it look smooth and have a clean cut. February 3Wednesday we read an article about Introverts and Extroverts, which was about different kinds of students. Introverts are the people who stay quiet and don't voice their opinions as much. The Extroverts are the people who talk a lot and are heard more. Since Introverts are more to themselves and quiet, people often mistake them to be not as bright as Extroverts. When someone asks a question to a group of people, an Extrovert is more likely to answer. Not that an Introvert doesn't know the answer, but because maybe they don't like the attention it will get. After reading and discussing the article within the class, Rachel and I went back to work on the bolt some more. We put the Aluminum cylinder (bolt) on the Mill, where we then shaped it to become a polygon instead of a circular shape. Since Scott was working with a lot of people, Rachel and I started to work on our proposal and final product while we waited for him to help us out. February 4Thursday Rachel and I finished the proposal, to the point where all we had to do was show him our proposal and get it approved. We went to Phil to check over it first and get critique. He gave us some good tips and new ideas both Rachel and I didn't think about. We also made the grooves in the bolt, which is called threading(images below). We did spend some time waiting for Scott, but then when it was longer than 5 minutes, we moved over to the Proposal and worked on it there to get it improved. February 5Friday we proposed our final product idea to Scott. We showed him what we came up with, and he mainly said it looked good, plus some other tips and ideas that we can do. Today we also finished the bolt. Here we cut the bolt to the right size, and faced it again. The last thing I got to do in class today was make my blog. We also had a period for outside games at the bay so we had just over one period to work on all of our stuff.
