Today my group made holes for the tuners we have to put in. We also made an excel sheet for the tuners. My partner Mariana ans I took turns making the holes. Our other partner Caitie was not here.

Guitar project!

In my school we are doing a project in which we have to build an electric guitar. We have to be in teams of two but there weren't enough people so in my group we have three. We each have to play a certain role in this project. For example I'm the Documentarian, Mariana is the Mathematician, Caitie is the Engineer, and since we don't have a fourth person we all share the part of being the physicist. First we all had to come up with an idea on how our guitar was going to look. What we came up with was a star. After we had to decide on the colors, we decided to paint the star yellow and paint piano keys on the neck. We drew the shape of our guitar on the wood and cut it out with circular saw. It had been cut out wrong so then we had to start all over.
After we had to make the neck and paste it on the star. Then we painted it with primer, then with the regular paint. I had to paint the star, Caitie had to paint the keys on the star, and Mariana had to paint the Neck white. After we had to make hole in the guitar so we can put on the volume knob. Then since we don't have a physicist i had to write a paper on Gear Ratio's, and Mariana had to write how to use gear ratio's.
