Assignment 3: framework/structure (part 1)

this is the structure for my next project. i want to make a cave with hollow walls so i can screw in shelves and put some homemade instruments and eventually use it in a performance. i want to also maybe run instrument mics in through the walls to be able to make sounds using the actual walls.

i have to slightly modify the framework so making an organic form is a easier.

materials: pvc piping

Assignment 2: Making a box for an object (wood joinery)

This is the box I made for my little shaker and my drumsticks.

Process: After measuring the items i decided to make a regular rectangular box joined using miter joints. i then measured my wood and drew my plans. after cutting all my pieces i compared my items to the box and decided to make the box a bit shorted in length so the objects could have a tighter fit after the velvet was applied. then i joined it using the epoxy and wood glue. after it was dry i sanded it to make it as smooth as i could. after sanding i painted it using some high gloss paint. after painting i cut some pieces of cardboard that would be a bit smaller than the walls of the box so i could wrap it in velvet and glue it to the inside of my box. i was looking at at old fender jazz master basses and i saw one with a similar lining on the case and so i decided to make my box with a similar lining. after glueing in the upholstery i put on all the hardware and the sticker and called it finished

Materials: 1/2 inch ply wood, wood glue, epoxy, high-gloss enamel paint cardboard crushed velvet, brass hardware.

Plans:
