DTM Term 3 Week 9

This week I changed the size of my braces that hold the top panel to the walls to 20mm x 20mm, and I have also drilled out all of the holes to put rivets in.

This week I cut out quite a lot of braces and also my walls (four triangles) and base of the box. There were 4 braces to connect each of the walls to the base, and 4 braces to hold each wall to each other. There were also 4 braces to hold each wall to the top panel. I have decided to use a substance called polymorph for the roofing of the box
