I plan to create a laser printed box showing the Ring of power from Lord of the Rings. This idea will come to life because the letters on the ring will glow in real life.

This is the cut file I created for my project yesterday. Today I am going to laser cut it onto wood.

Day 1

Day 2

Today I worked on gluing the wax paper onto one of the sides of the box. Before that I collected my laser cut of the box I made last week.

Day 3

Today I worked a lot on my project. To begin class I used a mallet and snapped the box together except for 1 side. After that I glued orange tinted plastic to the side of the box with the writing. Lastly, I soldered my led and snapped in the last side of my box.

Day 4

Today I worked on clarifying my project. I decided to make a note card explaining the ring of power and why it is important.

Yesterday during class I laser cut an emblem of Middle Earth. I decided to do this so my project is more connected to my book. Today during a study hall I completed my summary of my book.

Day 5

Today during English class I thought about what other laser cuts I could do for my project. I am not sure what to do but I will think about it next class.
