Prototyping day 2

Today in the workshop, 16mm holes were drilled into the standing plywood frame, to hold the aluminium tubes. The length of the lower plywood frame was trimmed to account for the offset.
The aluminium tubes were welded through the bottom and angle ground to flatten the base.
Holes were drilled for screws to fit in.

 The above image is of the stool standing on its own, without any glue, screws or domino joints cut.

On Monday the stool is expected to be finished, all that remains is cutting the domino joints, screwing the aluminium frame in, gluing the aluminium to the wood for extra support with Liquid Nails, gluing the domino joint and polishing the frame.
