Reflection Term 1 Week 9

Reflection Term 1 Week 9

What I have been doing:
-I cut the stripes that I will lie across the inside of the board. I had to make sure they were all the same size so that the board would not have weak spots which could cause it to snap.
-I have been having problems with my calender on my blog and spent a lot of time on Wednesday but it still isn't working it is possible that there is a problem with the school sever.

What I will be doing next week:
-I hope to start making my mold for my board out of MDF. This is what I will use to hold my board in shape when I started to layer it up with the Flax stringer, epoxy resin and marine ply wood.
-I hope to possibly started the putting together of the stringer and marine.
