My flashlight looks really good. I loved making the flashlight! It was so fun! Here is how it looks:
I also like the other things we did in Tech. Like making the switch, doing the break in the box, and making the pendents. I really love Tech! Tech is so fun!
Soldering my circuit wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I thought it would be really hard because there were a lot of parts to the circuit. It was also kind of hard because I didn’t solder the wire to the switch properly. It took me 3 tries to perfect it. But it mostly easy.
Measuring wires was way harder than I thought. The rough wire I used to measure the wire on the sheet kept moving. Finally I got the mesurements:
Stripping the wires were easier and fun. Then We curved them to look like hooks:
When I got the design paper and Mr. Calvert said to make the drawing the exact size, I was like, how am I supposed to that! Then when Mr. Calvert explained a minute later, I thought I got how to do it. When I started, though, I messed up really badly. After a while I got it.
This is how my design looks:
A couple days ago Mr. Calvert announced that we will be making flashlights. We got a sheet to put our designs on. Mine was kind of simple. But maybe when I continue to make it i’ll add to my flashlight.
Here’s a picture:
The building process of the flashlights sounded fun. I can’t wait to make them! I wonder how we are supposed to measure them. I guess i’ll find out when I make the real design.
