Be honest to say I am super confused at the beginning about what kind of thing I choose to make. Since the amount of it should be FIVE, I don’t want to make anything that is useless and take up space. I start to hang out in my apartment, truly the space is not that kind of big to discover. Even I began to map out my daily routine in my room, and think about whether there is something that could help my lifestyle habits, but it is missing.
One idea came to my mind, I really like to wear rings and basically have a set combination of wearing them. However, all of my rings are currently in a storage box, and finding them takes a long time. Maybe I need small ring organizers that can store three to five rings. That way, I’ll have 5 sets of rings for my typical wear.
Since the structure of the ring organizer is quietly similar to the box that was assigned last week. I observe the box I made last week and find the inside bottom of the box is uneven and has a fairly deep hole since the middle of the drill is super sharp. Even though it’s fine to use but looks not good.
So I think about splitting the bottom and wall and then sticking them together to ensure the flat inside. Below is my initial sketch for the ring organizer. The interior needs to be spacious enough to store a few rings and still accommodate 5 objects stacked on top of each other.
In the beginning, I sand the straight angles of the wood to make sure each piece of wood block could be fitted together perfectly and sticks well at a later stage. But I found that perfectly sawing such a thick block into slices is not easy work. It’s hard to avoid the out-of-straight and the loss of wood sawing surface. There is a tiny gap between the 2 pieces.
Afterward, I choose a suitable size of drill to make the interior space of the organizer. I draw the auxiliary lines to help me drill the center position but I have to say it helps but is not obvious. 😂 One thing I found here was since the piece is not thick the drill may crack it if you push it quickly, a slow drilling is a better option. I drilled and cracked a piece, but I forgot to take a picture.
After I want to stick to the theme I choose, the “squircle”, and I cannot accept that the circular space is not in the middle. I try to use a sander to reshape it.
The iterated sketch is shown below.
Finally, I still sand it with sandpaper to make it more smooth. I’ve put the ring in and it looks good！
