Lewis's DT Blog

In D.T we are all making anderson shelters. I have recently put a light in, the light is 3.5V so I gave it two 1.5V it was very fiddly to get the wires to go through so we can hide the batteries around the back. I have also painted it grey by mixing white and black together. Luckily I made it so it could look more like a shiny iron colour. Then I lightly put white paint over the grey to make it look like corrigated iron. Then I was thinking of putting a buzzer on the back so it would seem like there would be sirens, but it made to much of a BZZZZZ noise. In my D.T Options me and Liam are making a boom box. We have got the box from a ready made one which had hinges. So we took off the hinges and taken off the side with a huge plastic pipe sticking out of it. We didn't have alot of time so we had to rush it a little. When we go back to D.T me and Liam are going to cut out a piece to go on the bottom because the other part has the pipe which won't come off.
