New Style

Today we worked on the prices of what we are buying, we have all given $10 to buy the cost of the wood and paint. We were VERY confused on what we should buy, because a budget of paint cost over $35!!! EXPENSIVE!! So we said NO we are not buying that expensive paint. We found the thunderbird forest wood for $7.99 this wood was perfect in the size to work with to build the desk. We also found chrome paint for $5.49 this was cheap and it will look cool! So we have got a total of around $26.98 so we will cut it really close to the cost! We were so happy that we got it for the price we did, we are ready to build this desk over the holidays, we need to get this bought and done so we can relax and have fun over the christmas break!

Drawings!

Today I worked on the final drawing of our desk. I did change the bars to connect the desk to the iHelper, I changed them to be slanted and have a bar in the middle of them. These bars are like this to make the desk more stable. With those bars slanted then they have more area to work with also the bar across keeps these bars from moving closer or further away from each other. This idea seemed better to me and seemed a better and more efficient way to help the desk with the weight of the laptop on the iHelper. Will and Landon worked with the website Home Depot to find parts. We did find that the price dropped on the track systems we needed and also so did the sheet metal lowered also! We are very very surprised that it lowered and we were very happy.
