With the project being as far along as it is, we have been
fortunate to have access to
shop equipment, such as table
saws, band saws, sanders,
etc., in Phil's basement. We
have also been provided with
a bundle of carpet tubes much
larger than architectural
plotter paper tubes. With the
shop and these massive tubes,
our possibilities for our final
product have increased
greatly.
A full scale study of the
canopy aspect of the project
has begun. With the large
carpet tubes, a large object
in the shape of a bending
finger is made. They are
joined together at 145-
degree angles, and each of
the three pieces are approx.
4 feet long. They are
fastened with screws into
blocks of wood within the
tubes. This piece failed to
stand up effectively, so ropes
are tied at the joints and run
the length of the piece to
provide tension. The piece
did provide a sense of scale in
relation to people, but it
unfortunately did not possess
the level of structural integrity
we had aimed for.
