Tech wood work

At tech I had drawn the design that I wanted to make, next I had to cut it out, our teacher shown me how to work a machine to cut out my mold.

After, I got my mold done and my teacher pored the metal in, I had a lot of designs but I could only choose one so I when with a dollar sign.

When the metal had cooled down it was solid I had to file it out to make it look more smooth.  

I was making it smooth by using different files to use for different areas of my design.
