Final Model: Phase II

After the bases were completed,
the seating elements began

their construction. The smaller
plotter paper tubes are
measured to their appropriate
sizes and mass produced on a
table saw. The tubes are cut at
20" for the seats and 30" for the
backs of the seats. 3" pieces
are also added to act as a foot
rest.

All of the tubes are oriented
vertically side-by-side on the
sheets of plywood, and they're
screwed into place. Some of the
tubes are also cut at angles so
they can be placed on the larger
angled tubes and still stand

vertically.

To ensure even more strength,
the tubes are lashed together
with rope. The rope is weaved
around the tubes and through
small holes in the tubes.
