In tech, we are currently working on brainstorming for our first projects! What I’m thinking I will make is a shelf out of balsa wood planks, and kind of make my own plywood by gluing the thin planks on top of each other. Although it won’t be a thick shelf (as it’s width is only 3″) I think it would be useful to store any trophies, collectibles, and small books I have in my room. I really think this project will be fun, and I can’t wait to start building. I have already made a sketch of how I want it to look like, but I’m still debating on whether or not I should add screws for a more industrial look, or if I should just layer the planks and paint it for a minimalistic and modern look. The hardest part of this project is definitely going to be mounting it. I don’t have any metal lying around, so I guess the shelf will be more of a display to mount things. Hopefully, I can work something out and figure out a way to make it look good. Anyway, that’s it for today, but I will post more updates on how the process is going. I think I may have to re-think my idea, but I’m not sure yet.
