Free Standing Clock
Marking Out
Pencil
I did this well as my measuremnts were even. I do think I made my clock stand a lot smaller then I thought it would be, which made it a bit harder for me.

Smoothing
-
-
Smooth file
Make sure for no rough lines, cross hatch with smooth file before fully smoothing off with oil and eery paper.
This was done well, but I did this too soon during the process. I smoothed my piee before using the laser cutter, which made me have to go back a step.
Design
-
-
Liquid solvent cement
My design went well when doing my measurements, but I broke one strip of acrylic when filing it which delayed finishing my clock.
Assemble
Numbers,
I rushed to get this part done, so ended up breaking the seconds hand, but the clock still worked fine in the end.

Measuring
-
-
Double check markings, length-150mm, width-80mm
Bending
Strip heater
I didn't bend my piece of acrylic at the angle I wanted, which makes my clock topple over an odd time when standing in a certain direction, but it normally does stand.

Shaping
Rough file
I broke a piece of acrylic when filing, which made me have to redo the piece, but now I know to be more careful.
-
Cutting
Tile cutter
I was more careful cutting my project with machines then doing any other part of my project as the machine has more control than me and would determine the result of my clock. I made sure all the marking and measurements were even.
