Modeling the Washboard

This is the final outcome of My Washboard.


This are the steps done:

The width of the glass is divided into 17 segments.



Change to 'Edge' and select the interior edges.
Bevel the edges then change to face mode and extrude.
Pull out the highlighted parts.

Bevel the highlighted parts.

Created a top panel and the top header with the attributes given on the PDF file.

Align the top header and top panel using the Align Tool such that the header is in between the panel.

Create another cube with the attributes given call the top stringer.
Duplicate the top stringer and rename it as the bottom stringer and move it at the bottom of the washboard. Align them in order using the Align Tool.




Complete the washboard by creating another cube called left_leg and set the attributes given.
The left leg of the washboard has to be aligned and placed under the top header,centered height-wise. Duplicate the leg and place it on the right side. After everything are put in place, bevel the top header, both stringers and both legs.

Finally, add colours to the washboard.


My Reflection when developing the Washboard:
Before trying out the washboard, I looked at the image and I thought it was hard to do because of the ribs but after trying out, I find that it was actually quite easy to do. The PDF file is also easier to understand. Face and Edge Tool plays an important part in developing an object.
