-Create a light fixture using techniques learned in this class
I created a lampshade that has a hexagonal shape and features music notes around it. My product was designed in Adobe Illustrator, cut from wood on a laser engraver, and then glued together.

Obstacles
One obstacle I ran in to was with my original design. I had originally created my structure in Autodesk Inventor but them realized that it wasn't possibly to make with the machines and software available. I ended up having to redesign my idea in Illustrator to get my desired product.
