I laminated the back of my overhead projector today, that is of Plywood. Some really ugly crappy manufactured board. The laminate is rather nice actually, it's those that are used in the hall when it was new. The top are made up of wood grains, however it is just a sheet of… laminate.

My steps taken:

1) Tape a masking tape onto the big piece of laminate, mark it out

2) Bring it to the execution machine, slot it inside and step. BANG.

3) Now you have a slightly bigger piece of laminate.

4) Apply contact glue on both sides, quick.

5) Let it dry, a few minutes.

6) Paste it on, use a hammer and hammer it down a few times over and over again.

7) Now you have to trim off the sides.

Use a trimmer, pretty dangerous stuff. 

I did that with 1 teacher and 2 instructors standing by my side watching me, at one point they shouted at me:

WHAT ARE YOU DOING!! You could have sliced off your finger. My heart almost dropped out

He said that if he were to pierce it through my body, it would have gone straight through. Pretty dangerous stuff don't you think (I think the blade is made of carbite steel). After cutting the thing, while the thing was still vibrating I held it diagonally downwards. I did not know the danger it posed.

My teacher got afraid and instead, did it for me (muahaha). 

This is it, the trimmer. I remembered Glenn's statement a month ago on his fear:

Nevermind la, cut off 1 finger still left 9.

So… is the glass half-full or half-empty? What's your point of view?
