Today i started creating the acrylic box for my 3D final piece. I had a discussion about how i was going to create my acrylic box. First of all i had to work out how much acrylic i will need, i then bought the right amount. It was then time to measure the acrylic and cut it into the five squares to create the cube. I then at an angle the acrylic needed to be cut so that when it was joint together it would stay flush against the plinth.

I managed to set up the acrylic into the cube shape and started binding it together with plastic welding solution. However some of the sides weren't binding very well, and realised that i had no more plastic welding solution, so on Thursday i will need to go back to the workshop and finish gluing the box and creating the platform for my piece to sit on.
