flower coasters

By

 My project for design tech was flower coasters with a flower coaster holder, too. I first thought about ideas for coasters, and I really liked the flower ideas, so first we sketched out the design and figured out what the size was gonna be and the materials I needed. We then designed our ideas on illustrator and then put it through the laser cutter. We then designed our coaster holders and put them through the CNC router, and after that, we sanded all of the coasters and coaster holders. We then put the finishing oil on them and finished them. I really liked my flower coaster design because I really like flowers, and there's like a little outline on the border of the flower, and it goes really well with the coaster holder. The most challenging thing about making these coasters was figuring out the right sizes for the coasters and the holder so that they fit right. If I were to do it again and change something, I would maybe make each flower a different type of flower. Now that I finished, I am going to give my coasters to my best friend for Christmas.

Design Tech Cutting Board

By
 💫💖My Amazing Cutting Board💖💫 By: Olivia 💕💝😍👅 Our project for Design Tech was to make a cutting board. I made it with three different   types of wood, cherry, walnut, and maple. We sketched our ideas and figured out the dimensions for the cutting board. Once we knew how much wood we needed, we cut it out and glued it. My partner and I (Angelica) finished gluing the wood strips together and then cut it in half so we could each have a half. Once that step was finished, we flattened the board and sanded it. Then we used two coats of finishing oil. After that, we burnished twice. I also did the extra step of engraving my mom's monogram on the cutting board. My favorite thing was engraving the letters on the board and seeing it all come together. The hardest thing was getting over the fear of cutting the wood because the blades were very scary and fast. I might do more engraving because it was really fun. I am going to give it to my mom for Christmas.

Asymmetrical serving board

  What is your project? my project is a small serving board How did you make it? We cut many pieces of cherry and walnut ignorer to create our design What do you like most about your project? I like the non standard design of my board. Most people chose to create or use symmetrical cutting boards. I also like that I created a large chamfer on the Bottom edge to create a floating look. What was challenging about this project? it was challenging to decide what points to use so the grain would align nicely. What would you change about the project if you did it again? I would cut the chamfer to be on the other side. it looks fine but I think it could be better. What is your plan for it now that it's done? it will live in the kitchen and be used from time to time with guests.

atlas's supa melodic CD Coasters - Design Tech Project

By

My project consists of four acrylic 3.5-inch coasters with a design of a CD on the top. Each coaster/CD is a different color with a design inspired by some of my favorite albums (including one from my band, Crash Radish!!). I made sure to use a piece of the cover art to bring some attention to the original, along with using a color closest to one on the album. The albums I chose were Fandom by Waterparks, which is green with the band's logo, Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. by Hunny, which is orange, and has the font from the original album cover, boy by 2hollis, which is blue and has the + motif and the rays of light from the cover, and Spiramen Regia by Crash Radish (I wrote this!), which is pink with the radish design of our logo.  I started with a base that was a circle with a 3.5-inch diameter, and a .75-inch diameter hole in the center. Then, to resemble the usually clear center piece on CDs, I made sure that each coaster had a 1.5-inch shallowly-engraved circle in the middle. The ou...
