Designer Notebook -I didn't want anything complicated or too hard to make at all. So I stuck with the simplest design of a basic circle and numbers. The hook on the side, the circle on the bottom is where I would screw into the clock it self and then the triangle would be where the nail would sit when it hangs on the wall.

Machines I would use-
Back of Clock-
Designed the back in Inventor and would have used the router to cut it out. I chose the router because I know with a hand held router it cuts edges, and by looking what fellow IDEA students had done in the past, the CNC Router would cut something out. Which is why I chose it because I would have cut out the circle back of the clock.
Hook on the back to later be hung on the wall-
Inventor wasn't working for me at all, so I FaceTimed with Daniel and he used Fusion 360 to set this up. He taught me how to use it and then I told him how to make it. I would have 3D printer this part so it would be strong when it was hanging on the wall. I chose the 3D printer because it is one of the machines I got to use and become familiar with this semester.
Numbers-Set up the numbers on Illustrator and then would have transferred to my flash drive to move to the laser to engrave the numbers. Since it would be engraved it is in black not red. I would use the laser because it was another one of the machines I had the opportunity to become familiar with this semester.

Summary Paragraph :
I learned that you can use various different machines and softwares to create something amazing. To create something as simple yet complex as a clock, I would have used 3 different machines. Each of them playing an important role in creating the final project. To manage my time I would have most likely done all of the digital software process over the course of 1 class period and potentially a contact time. Then I would have given myself a class period or two for the router and laser. I would have started the 3D printer the first day after the digital process. After 3-4 class periods I would give myself one class or contact time to put it all together.
I have learned so much throughout this semester. I am sad that it ended how it did, not getting to see and work along side my fellow classmates, not being able to use the machines, and spending more days with Mrs. Proctor. I am grateful I still got to finish the software portion o all of the projects, except the CNC Mill and Router. It was still very interesting learning about both though. I learned that you can truly create anything you can image. Just have to put a little work in, and stay focus to achieve your goals. Thank you IDEA and Mrs. Proctor for a great semester!
