Finished Cutting, Time To Sand

I am now entering the last week to work on the physical aspect of my project. After this week I am going to start working on a presentation to present the information, the experiences, and the product to my class. Being that the window is closing for working on the physical aspect of my project, I have been working extremely hard on the project in order to finish as much of the project as possible. Last weekend, I spent a solid hour cutting out all of the pieces for my gauntlet, including the thirty or so finger pieces. After the hour was over, all the pieces had been cut out, and my hands were so sore from using the cutting tool that I had to relax and ice my hands. I could not work on the physical aspects of the project anymore that weekend after that because everything I did hurt my hands immensely; however, now that I have had a week of focusing on other assignments and resting my hands, they no longer are sore, and I am able to continue the work for my project. This weekend I plan on trying to sand ALL of the pieces similar to how I cut out all of the pieces the weekend before. I also want to try punching out most if not all the holes in the pieces, shape the pieces, and then facet them together so that I can show off at least the gauntlet for my presentation.
