A Level making - part 3

I laser cut a bunch of chevron shapes as this was a more efficient way to cut them out than by doing it by hand. I then glued them together in threes to achieve the required thickness and used a jig to set them straight.

My Notebook!

This section is dedicated to what I call my ‘everything notebook’. In this book I record all of my thoughts and notes as I complete coursework and other tasks. I find it really useful to write things down roughly as I think of them rather than trying to remember them at a later date.
