~~~~~~~External work for this week ~~~~~~~~

At this stage you should have begun to work on your prototype model of your half sheet table.

Try using PMI on your model and allow this process to make you really think about methods of manufacturing the components and the construction methods that you plant on using to join all the components together. 

Discuss your ideas, designs and thought process with others in your group, peer sharing is a great method of sounding out your ideas before committing to them.

Remember to email me images of your prototypes.

Good luck!
