Workshop: when will it end!

So I need more pom poms than I thought I might of needed today by at least 20. Wanted to finally have the stool finished today but now seems it is very possible that tomorrow will be the last day to have the stool finished and to then make my boards finally. I am also trying to create some animations in solid works something I hope will be useful and I will use during the presentation.

Workshop: there shall be legs!!!

Holes drilled for the legs still got to drill the holes in the legs and get the splits between them lathed. Backs formed just needs covering in foam and then more pom poms :D busy busy week ahead :(

guess how many

testing the fit for the drill bit

seting up to drill the second hole

in the process of drilling

adding foam next then just to attatch

Workshop: slowly geting there

All three legs now lathed with half the pom poms now ready to be upholstered onto the foam all needs doing now is forming the back I’m thinking with cloth then upholstered over the top. The holes for the legs need screwing at a 9 degree angle then i can work the splits to fit between the legs just one week left busy busy busy!!
