Garret and I experienced some diffiulties with the viynl cutter this week we had to try and print a silloutte or john prine but had a hard time because at first we had to try and erase the middle of the outline. but after that we figured out we could trace it twice to get the outline and make it big to fit on the guitar. also at the beguinning of the week we went to NBCC to listen to Alex Mclean speak about his lifeand how he is an entrepreneur. and me and garret finished our tinkercad assignments.

Jon and me we worked on printing stickers for Mr. Hallihan’s guitar. We printed off pictures of John Prines signatures and a silhouette of him. We ran into some problems at first, we peeled the wrong parts but then we even figured out something better to do we put a boarder around him to make the details better and way easier for us to peal. This week we also went over to NBCC Miramichi to listen to Alex Mclean speak about his career and his business
