The first week of the summer break.
Boyd, Brad, Timm, John, Sean, Gus, Mike, Rich were all.
Steve came regularly to do his work, as well.

I remade the base(column and legs) part of the candle stand. It was made better than before, but still has a lot to be done better.
One benefit of this remaking was that I had confidence in that I did all steps by myself without any instruction.

The end week of the second semester.
I moved from the lower bench room to the upper bench room.
My bench is located at the right corner of the room from the entrance.
