ccdn 331 | project 1 | process part 1


I have put together a storyboard based on our group's ideas:

Daisy and I worked on the pencil design and execution on Thursday:


We cut the length of wood so that it formed half a pencil ( lengthways) then cut it in half.

We then cut a groove for the 'lead' down the length

We cut it in half so we had two lengths 250mm long. We used the lathe to 'sharpen' a dowel that will form the 'lead'. We even inserted a piece of real lead so that in principal you could use the end product to write with.

A test video done on the iPhone's slo-mo camera gives us a hint at how this might work.
