We spent this week in the workshop working on our prototypes for our desk tidies. To create a prototype we had to have all our designs finalized and have created a one to one scaled drawing. Our prototypes were created with cardboard and tape. I started creating my prototype in the style of a net. I did this because I will then create my actual desk tidy on acrylic as a net so it doesn't use an unnecessary amount of cardboard and I can bend it on the strip heater.
When I was creating my prototype I found the most difficult thing was drawing lines straight and parallel. If I didn't keep my lines parallel then the measurements would be wrong and the pieces wouldn't fit. I've now finished my prototype and have started drawing my net on my chosen acrylic plastic (dark green).
