 Concepts I don't think this one would be possible at the size we're doing it at, but I really like it. especially the taper-ing, that makes it look sort of tornado like. This one reminded me of tentacles. I like the way they all connect with each other, but other then that it's really simple. I think combined with another concept, this could be really cool. I'm a huge fan of the criss-crossing to make a hollow diamond shape and the spikes at the top. I think I like multiple tips a lot more compared to a singular one.  This concept is incredibly simple and reminds me of an ice cream swirl but I'm quite fond of it. This was one of the first ones I made, and I was really struggling trying to get all the different parts to meet at a point, so instead it just has a cylinder and flat top. I know now how to make everything meet at a point, so I would definitely change it. I feel that this one is doing quite a lot, but I'm a huge fan of the diamond holes. Looking at it...

 Coaster Final Final Product The fabrication process was a lot simpler than I thought it would be. This was my first time laser cutting anything and with all the layers in my coaster, I thought it'd be really difficult to put it together but it wasn't. I found the hardest part to be just making sure all the pieces were aligned when I glued them together. It was quite time consuming, putting all the pieces together, I think it took me about 2 hours. But I found it fun watching it coming together, I was anxious at first that my legs movement idea wouldn't work. So putting it together and discovering that my idea actually did work out was quite exciting.  Throughout the process, I also learnt a lot on what I would do differently if I had to do it again. For one, I would glue the stuff down in a different order. I began gluing by attaching to the base and working up, but I later realized it'd be easier to glue the pieces together separately and then to the base. I also glue...
