Classwork 3/27- I can tell that Joe does not have enough space in his desk drawer to organize all of his desktop supplies. Joe expressed some of the items that cause the biggest problems for him. Joe also expressed that a visually appealing design is crucial or he will not use it. He wants a combination of open and closed compartments and mentioned he would like a secret compartment as well. He said he would prefer the design be made out of wood as opposed to cardboard. He wants the design to be long and run across the back of his desk. Its also important that pencils and pens are the most accessible. I think overall, the most important constraint given is to keep it visually appealing.

I then used the extrude tool to create the holes. I also printed the lower arm and horizontal on the laser printer and put the magnets in place.

Homework 12/13/22– While watching the assigned video tutorials, I sketched the lower horizontal and the square and circle cutouts. I used the dimensions and extrude tools first. Then, when the horizontal was in place, I used the combine and cut tool to create the joinery. Then I created rectangles and circles and used the dimension and coincident tool to place them in the right place. Then I used the rectangular pattern tool to make more squares.

Classwork 12/12/22- While watching the first assigned video tutorial, I extruded the lower arm and made a copy of it. While watching the second assigned video tutorial, I used the assemble joint tool to put the upper arm and small disks together and made the motion rigid. I then used the assemble joint tool again to connect the lower arms with the disks and made the motion revolute.

Homework 12/12/22- While watching the assigned video tutorials, I sketched the lower arm and metal disks. First I followed similar steps to making the upper arm to make the lower arm. I made two circles and set the distance between them using the distance command. Then I connected them with a line and used the tangent tool. Then I created holes in the middle of the two circles. I used the rectangular pattern tool to make the rectangles. I also used the circular pattern tool to make the circles around the center of the circle. To make the disks I made two more circles and set the diameter. I put a hole in both of them and then used the extrude tool.

Classwork 12/7/2022- Today I used the laser printer to print my upper arm sketch. I uploaded the sketch onto the computer and printed it. Then I sanded the wood to get the char off of it. I also put the magnets in the holes and filled them with resin.
