Week 4 T4 DTM

Last Friday I spent my time cutting out my bottom plate in the cam machine and scavenging around our classes prototype lights for old circuits. On tuesday I cut away some bits of my bottom plate with the band saw so I could bend it into shape and get the best result. Today I am blogging and putting on pictures of the past week. we have friday off so on saturday I will come in and I hope to finish the exterior of my light.
