Today was my second lesson in the workshop. Alot was done today and that included me finishing bending the aluminium and cutting it to the right size. I also sanded the edges of the aluminum and my wood to make it smoother and have a nicer appearance. At the end of the lesson I also put the dents into my aluminium so it will be easier to put the nails in. Next lesson I will screw on the nails so that the aluminum will be attached to the wood.

Lights- Are they Made of Waves?

According to tpub.com "The exact nature of light is not fully understood, although scientists have been studying the subject for many centuries. Some experiments seem to show that light is composed of tiny particles, and some suggest that it is made up of waves." To begin with the Greeks originally thought that light was shone out of our eyes and Romans believed that light was made up of tiny particles which flew around in straight lines. Many Years later in the 1960's light was then thought to have been made up by waves. It is still being tested today.

Today was my first lesson in the workshop, I firstly began by putting the measurements onto the piece of alluminium so it could be shaped. The shape I chose is a straight base and a wavy top which will be where the lights will be. Next lesson I will finish bending my alluminium and then attach it to my wood.
