What Is Going On In La Tinkería?

  What is your project? For my project I made 4 coasters in the shape of slices of bread, along with a toaster-shaped coaster holder with notches and buttons. I made it all out of cherry wood, ranging from 1/8 inch - 3/4 inch thickness. What were the steps you took to complete your project? The first thing I did was write my project proposal to Mr. Grisbee. This includes which type of wood I will use, how much of it, the thickness of the wood, and rough sketches of my coasters anf the coaster holders. Once that was a approved I began designing the coasters in Adobe Illustrator. Though it was a very simple design, it was difficult to get the shape just right. After I was happy with the shapes of my coasters I started working on designing my coaster holder. The holder consists of 3 peices, 2 side peices that are 1/4 inch and 1 middle peice that is 3/4 inches. After completing the all of the designs, I used the laser cutter to cut my coasters out. Then I used a scaled-down shape of my...

  My project has three different coasters, with each of them having a different geometric design. My coaster holder is a circular piece of wood with smaller dowels running between the circular pieces to hold the coasters. My first step was to design my coaster on Adobe Illustrator, which took a decent amount of time, and then I used the laser cutter to imprint the design onto the coasters. After that, I got started on designing my coaster holder, which was pretty easy, and I did some of the carving on it. We used a device called a CNC Router, which carved out the two circles. I cut the dowels to the correct length, but I still had to build the coaster holder by gluing the dowels into the circles. I really liked designing the coaster holder on Adobe Illustrator; it was really fun and cool to work with something like that. The most challenging part of my project was also working with Adobe Illustrator because it was really hard to learn how everything works. I would carve my coaster ...

  What is your project? My project consisted of three maple wood coasters that were 1/4 inch each and a maple wood coaster holder. The three coasters I made each had a different design. The coaster holder I designed used two 3/4 inch thick pieces of wood, with one of those pieces of wood being engraved and cut, and the other being a shape like the letter "c" that was glued atop the other piece.  What were the steps you took to complete your project? The first step I took when creating my project was finding inspirational photos on Pinterest. From there, I started creating the sketch for my coaster with regard to the dimensions and the thickness that I wanted my coasters to be, which was 2.5 by 2.5 inches and a 1/4 of an inch thick. After determining the dimtions I wanted my coaster to be I began to create the design for my coaster holder in which I initialy decided to have one 1/4 inch thick peice with 3.1 by 3.1 inch dimetions and I wanted to glue a 1/2 inch pice of wood tha...

What is your project? My project is a coaster set based on the video game Collective Unconscious. The designs created for the coasters and the coaster holder all reference things and events that happen in Collective Unconscious. What were the steps you took to complete your project? To complete this project, I created original designs based on things from Collective Unconscious in Adobe Illustrator, and then used the laser cutter to print them onto the coasters. First, I decided what parts of the game I wanted to be in my designs. I knew I wanted to make one based on the first cover of the book you use to save progress in the game, one showing the game's main imagery, and one based on the game's protagonist. It took me a little while to figure out what I wanted to do for the fourth design, but I ended up with a design based on one of the "eidola" you can collect in the game. I sketched my initial designs for these, and then recreated them in Adobe Illustrator. Once I ...

      My project is made of mahogany wood (there was no cherry wood left, and mahogany is similar), with a cat in a shark costume design based on M ofusand's art, and a triangular coaster holder.       First, we were supposed to find designs we wanted to base our coasters on, and I chose the cat in a shark costume because I had scissors with that design, which gave me the idea. Then I looked for coaster holder designs, and I picked a triangular design with dowels, because circular ones were said to be more difficult.       Then we had to fill out the Project Proposal Form: the project name, the project type, the equipment needed, materials needed (1/8 or 1/4 Acrylic (clear or color) or 1/8, 1/4, 3/4 Walnut, Cherry, or Maple woods), the project description, and we had to add a drawing of our design with accurate measurements, along with out inspiration pictures, and finally we had to turn it in to Mr. Grisbee to get it approved....

  What is your project?  For a project I was assigned in Design Tech, I decided to make my own Homemade text coasters with a silver fish-shaped holder. The coasters contain many various details, such as small fish, seaweed, and a sturgeon (which can be seen at the bottom of the FSSH coaster). The coaster holder itself has an eye and also has a hole in the center, and you can take out the coasters from the bottom side.  What were the steps you took to complete your project? Many steps are taken to make the coasters, such as buying the wood and crafting our model in an app called Adobe Illustrator. Once finished with both of those steps, I was able to laser cut out my coasters and sand off the burnt parts, ultimately finishing my coasters. For my coaster holder, it was almost the same process, but unlike the coasters, I used a wood cutting device called the CNC router. With this machine, I was able to get the pocket in the middle with perfect depth. What do you like most ab...
