Today I nearly finished my project, and am very happy with how it's turning out. The previous lesson I finished the square base, and today I finished my dial.
At the beginning of the lesson I had a little setback. Having worked on it at home I managed to forget the dial at home! Therefore, I had to spend the beginning of the lesson the sawing and sand-papering of a new dial. This time, it went a lot faster as I now knew how to do it, and overall there were some positive aspects of my stupid forgetting of the first dial. Firstly, I was now better at sawing, and the circle became more even. Secondly, the sand-paper at school was less coarse than what I used at home, making the edge of the circle more smooth. Thirdly, I now made sure not to remove the protective film before absolutely necessary and therefore the second disk became less scratched than the first.
After that I cut the gradient-painted canvas and glued this onto the disk. Instead of spray-gluing it on, I used four tiny dabs of super-glue at the edge of the disk, and this worked very well and was barely visible.
Then I drilled a hole into the square base using a drill, widening it with a knife.
Fortunately, we got an extension to next week, and I am quite sure I will finished then.
