Now that I finally have an understanding of 123D Design this project was easy but fun! I got to use a lot of fun tools like the hollow tool for example.  This project wasn’t very difficult but it was still fun to try new tools and try new techniques. The most difficult part of this project for me was the oars. you had to make sure they were thick and sturdy, but still small enough to fit in the oar holder. Overall this project was very fun and simple, and its a nice change of pace from the more difficult projects.
