Finally Back to Work

So much for "this will be a quick build..."

Been busy with school work and all, couldn't get much done until middle of last week. So anyway here are the process:

The chairs are giving me a very hard time to work with because of the clay, since my fingers sweat a lot while working with it, which makes it difficult to work with the clay because water makes the clay go soft. So far, only managed to finish 2 out of 8 chairs.




However, on the plus side, most of the major components of this project is done. Right now it requires a lot of details, such as bulletin board on the wall etc.




And here is the door:



Here is the handle:




On the negative side, there won't be too much of an update until Jan because my camera will not be with me for a while. Hopefully I can find another one instead.


Oh, last but not least, Merry Christmas everyone!

Making Of Heating System Part III

So... did you guys miss me?

After two major failures, I finally found a way to make the turning part of the smoke pipe for the heating system. So here it goes:

Here is the first try:



But the result didn't turn out to the way I want it. The reason is that the part that i want to work on involves two different materials, epoxy putty and plastic, which makes it really difficult to work on. So back to the drawing board:



This time, I start with a metal rod, and cover up the rod with putty this time.



However, with the lack of measurement while working on it, another epic fail. So for the next time, I decided to use .5mm thick styrene sheet and cut them in to circles, connect them with the metal rod and fill up with putty between them.



Then use hobby knife to work around with it, and here we are:



Together with the power supply:


.... 8 seats... needs some sanding/sculpting work



And look what I got?!
