Final Outcome
Process Work
My first sketch of the design of the object, inspired by a guitar and oud. After getting comments from my professor, I moved on to a different sketch of the object.
The final sketch for the object. Materials to use are also stated.
So at first, I started measuring for the dado cut. After noticing a minor mistake of my Dado cut, I decided to file and scratch off the extra layer of wood that made my walls uneven. The result can be seen on the right picture.

In the first picture, I worked on the board and the height I wanted my wheel to be at and managed to drill a hole in that place. Second picture, I worked on the wheel itself and it turned out to be almost perfect. I faced a couple of challenges with the loose fit, because it turned the wheel to be unstable and wobbly. To fix that problem, I placed a stopper (small wooden square piece) to stable the wheel while it’s turning.
Details of my wheel. I will attach the 4 guitar pecks (I will use cut out CD pieces instead) in the vertical cut out lines.
Process of making a guitar peck out of a CD and the final design of the wheel.
Used the Jig Saw machine to drill a hole to attach the strings across (which I will be using as horse hairs) and glued the sides to stick together and used a clamp to hold it.
