The traditional washboard for washing clothes. If there was a television advertisement about this, I think it will feature a bunch of celebrities playing music with it together with a singer.
Process
Firstly, a long flat rectangular cuboid with several subdivisions were made. Then, on the edges of the subdivisions, a bevel was done to make space for the ribs, then I did an Extrude function to push out the faces to make the ribs. To make the ribs smoother, a bevel was also applied on the ribs.

The rest of the washboard was pretty simple. I just created a few cuboids, resized them, and moved them next to each other and positioned properly using the Align tool.
Reflection
The Align tool was rather hard to use because sometimes the layouts does not show up, so I cannot press them, regardless of how much I rotate my viewport around. Nevertheless, after a few tries, I was able to get them to show up and positioning all my cuboids.
Otherwise, the tutorial, just like the train track, was rather easy to accomplish, as I have grasped most of the features of Maya taught in the labs. However, right now most of the time it is still following some instructions, so the appearance of the model still looks nice in general. I was kind of afraid that if I start creating my own models, they might look out of scale, disproportional, or just look weird. I might have to put in some pictures using planes inside Maya as a guide if I start creating my own models.
In this lab, I also tried to put in textures instead of just colours for the washboard frame, so the frame now has a woody kind of appearance.
