At the very beginning of the week, we began to create the cardboard model of our crate. It is scaled down by 1/4 and the only difference is the width of the cardboard not being 1/4th the width of the actual model.

After finishing the cardboard model we showed it to Mr wood bridge who brought up the idea of simplifing the design to not feature as many latches, we eventually came up with the bottom segment to open differently, instead of a hinge like movement, it will be acceded by a shelf that fits inside of the two segments and rests on pegs, this shelf can be removed to access the bottom compartment. This led us to modify the cardboard model into this design. 

Near the end of the week, we focused on remodeling the on shape model, just like we  did the cardboard model, this gave us more finite and clear dimensions for the new changes and parts added to the box. We eventually decided adding four 0.5 inch by 0.5 beams on the interior corners of the top section of the box, just like we did on the bottom section. These would act as support once we start building it, and hold the newly created lid in place.

The only thing we need to work on for the on shape model is turning it into an assembly.
