Over the last couple of days I’ve been planning and making my first major prototype. I’ve been taking time over each step of the process to ensure that the end result communicates the amount of effort and skill involved as this is an integral part of the project.
Started out by getting my two bits of wood cut by the technicians in the workshop into pieces of equal dimensions.
Then spent a few hours cutting and sanding these strips into exactly equal segments with 22.5° angles on each side.
Gluing and clamping each of the seven layers.
Once these dry they’ll be ready to be glued vertically and have the chipboard attached to the top and the bottom in preparation for being turned on the lathe.
