Our day started with a computer presentation:  Erik showed how to import/download/upload SolidWorks projects to Teams. He took the example of the Ping Pong bat. Then, he explained us the use and the safety regulations of different machines in the two workshops and in the cellar and where other workshops are,if students want to go to make their lamps. The school has organized a number of 8 machines and it was decided that students would start with the creation of their respective plate representing the group number and their names. After this, each group (teams with 2 students) started with the hanging lamp. Another team of students and teachers started with producing a video screenplay for training the Shapertool machine.

This lamp is composed of 24 vertical connect rack joint wings and 2 central rings. First of all, to prepare the project, you need to choose 4 mm plywood planks to mill the 24 wings. In order to make it, students scan the plans from the CNC hand router database, to the digital screen. To realise the two rings, this is the same process of scanning. Students use 8-mm-poplar plywood planks (poplar is a soft wood). After the cutting of each piece, you must sand the pieces with sandpaper before assembling them together in the rings. At 4.00pm, after cleaning the workshop, we left school for free time. At 7.00pm we met in Spiseloppen restaurant where they serve great food in really nice surroundings, in Christiania.

We started school at 9.00am and some groups had to finish the first lamp project before wiring, while other pairs of students were working on the Ping Pong Bat with the digital hand router. After having cut every part of it, they sanded it before assembling each part. At 11 a.m. the group of students went to the computer room in order to get the information for the realisation of the second project: the table lamp. Arek explained the Alphacam software for programming the school's CNC machine and the trainees practiced programming on the laptops individually. Arek focused on the different and challenging parts of the project, especially how to cope with the stability of the foot, with the realisation of one part of the lamp with the 3D printer. It was decided that every group would rotate and would change their respective pair. First of all, before starting the project, the students had to watch the Solid Works tutorials so as to draw each part of their project: the lamp base, the vertical stub, and the lamp tray. Then, each drawing was imported into the digital program of the hand router. To gain time, a group of students was preparing several lamp bases, vertical stubs and lamp trays. After this process, they started milling the base. At 4.00 p.m. we stopped working.
