Clock Fabrication Plan + Design Diagram
Most of the drawings are complete, now it is time to focus on one and start designing the clock. Haven't figured out the materials yet.

Clock Design: Concept Generation
Clock concepts Top Left - Racing steering wheel, based on formula 1 Top Right - Half moon Mid Left - Bike wheel, old bike wheel tour de france, metal and wood Mid Right - Sports jersey, soccer Bottom Left - Tunnel Bottom Right - The octagon, based on UFC, behind each "wall" there will be the numbers with lights or a glow.
Waterjet Cutting
The waterjet cutting process took a bit too long due to the amount of small cuts. No real complications, overall shape came out really good, finished sanding it, then next week I will start to cut and fold shape.
Waterjet Prep
The laser stand came together somewhat successfully (one of the legs ripped as the fold/scoring was to thin and when I bend it it went off) in terms of overall form but not stability (for this paper/artboard) in terms of materials. Using artboard to plan the laser-cut components helped keep the dimensions consistent and made the layout process more efficient (saves money before doing the actual laser cutting). The laser cutting itself worked well for clean edges and accurate fits when the setting were correct, and the assembly was intuitive once all the pieces were laid out. The combination of digital planning and physical fabrication made it easier to visualize how the stand would function as a finished object.
