This project challenged me a little time wise as I am quite slow at cutting which meant that I did not finish the project in the designated class time. It also took me quite a few attempts to get it right once I took it home but I did find that by doing this I saw an improvement in the speed and neatness on my cuts. Saying this there are still a few uneven cuts on my latest model that could be improved.
I enjoy the challenge of working out the joining system as it offered a point of difference to the project. I tried two other joins but found this was most successful not only in holding the pyramid together but also in giving an even finish to the exterior. One problem I did find with this type of join is that it relies of the snugness of the joins to be effective. Opening and closing the pyramid just a few times resulted in a reduction to the tightness of each join and reduced the effectiveness of the hold resulting in a not so perfect pyramid.
