Week 4
This week we vainer-ed one side of our boxes to test out how vainer would look.
I also worked on the dimensions for my final box, trying perfect the liter.
Problem In-counted: I Placed a bit to much glue on my box and paper got stuck to my box
Problem Solved: I sanded off the paper.
Next Steps: To get final dimensions and get the cut out list done.

Diary Blog - Term 2 - Week 3
Week 3
~ This week i started to design prototype for my design instead of drawing them up on paper.
I like Solid Works because it's easy to change dimensions and get the correct ration of speaker size to box size. It's also easy to change things and save them. I have had previous experience with Solid Works which i have had to pick up again.
~ Also this week i stared to veneer one side of my box. A few tips on veneering are: Spreading out glue before pasting, Clamping with G-Clamps or A vice instead of trying to weigh it down to get the best hold.
Problem In-counted: I forgot how to use some of the features on solid works
Problem Solved: I found some tutorials on Solid-works
Next Steps: Start to render up my designs with Photo View.

Week 2
I spray painted my box black. I sprayed the front and the right side of my box. I tryed to apply some of the techniques that Mr. Mac showed me. I had never used a spray machine before. Lucky this was only a test box because the Finished product looked pretty bad.
Problem In-counted: I sprayed to heavily on the box, so the paint started to drip badly.
Problem Solved: Next time i was use more light strokes with the spray gun.
Next Steps: Continue designing the main speakers.

Diary Blog - Term 2 - Week 1
Week 1
We continued on with finishing off our boxes, Sanding down the left over builders bog.
Mr. Hawkings, The school's electronics teacher taught us about crossovers and the different types and stages there are, e.g. Capacitor, Inductors, Second-order Bessel Crossover.
He showed us the difference between each order crossover and the Frequency Cut off points.
He also showed us the difference between a 2-way and 3-way crossover.
Mr. Mac got us to experiment with Electronics kits so that we could get a bit more of an understanding about what Mr. Hawkings was talking about.
Mr. Mac also showed me and 2 others how to properly use the spray painting machine. Doing slow Even Streaks across the box/object
Problem In-counted: I over sprayed my box leaving big drip marks down the side of my box
Problem Solved: Next time ill do more lighter layers instead of less heaver layers
Next Steps: Start to draw up prototypes of my design
