On day one I planned out my project were I am going to make a Harry Potter broomstick and the Maunders Map. With magnets to control the map
Day 2
Since I am making the
broomstick at home I made a
template for the broomstick
so I can easily cut it out with
the wood
I also made another template
because my dad said we could use it?
sorry for the bad picture
On day 3 I did not get much done because I needed to print something but there was a long line and I didn't get much done. So i had to find a better idea to just use a cardboard box because there was tons of cardboard in the CCI
on day 4 i lost my map and most of the period I was looking for it.
after I knew it was lost i started working on the new map but it did not look good and it was not close to done. I decided that I should do it on the weekend because I had more time.
day 4
day 5
On day one I made the made the map because my dad did not have enough time to teach me how to use the power tools.
I made the map with 2 pieces.
I also have a box to hold it up so i got a big plastic storage bin to put my map on.
day 6
on day 6 I did one part of the two things to make the broom. I did the broom part with all of the sticks by making a mat of them to rap around a 2 pieces of Styrofoam so i did not have to fill in the whole back end. I also painted the Styrofoam brown so it would not stick out as much.
day 7
On day 7 I could finally make the broomstick. since cutting the out the template was dangerous my dad did that but after it was cut out I cut it down to have more of a rounder shape to it
after that I made the little gold rings around the broom with metal bands that I spraypainted with
after the broom was round enough I painted it a cool reddish brown color
Day 7 part 2
After it looked to us that the broom was done the back broke apart because the wires on the back were not strong enough. It was a complete mess and me and my dad together re wired the broom with more wire.
