Wooden Penguin

My first creation in Makerspace is this wooden penguin. Since couple of years ago, all my friends told me that I look like a penguin, so penguins became my favorite animal. Because I wanted to create something simple but cool for my first creation, I made this penguin.

The process of making the penguin was not that easy always. First, I picked a photo of a penguin in the internet. Then, I drew it on a paper and transferred the drawing into the computer. Once the picture is in the computer, I started making all the lines in a program for the laser. This process was the most tedious one, because I had to draw all the curve lines and spaces.

Once I finished the shape of the penguin, I just had to laser it with a piece of wood to make it real. Since I have the shape, I can (and I did) make more than one copy. The end result was amazing and for being my first project it’s incredible.
