Documenting Our Progress

1. At first my chair was just a normal high school chair. Not really anything special, Once I printed it I realized how much it really sucked. So I made a new one a lot harder than I thought but It still sucks. I wanted to get A cool design for a chair something interesting I guess. But this is defiantly not my fotae. In style perspectives mine still sucks but I will have a link below...

3-The tape measure is going to be you best friend in this process, I am not kidding the tool you need to use everything on is the tape measure EVERYTHING!!!! The reason for that is when you cut out your model on the laser cutter it wont fit. Unless you use the tape measure. This project if difficult for me everyone is cutting out their real life designs I am still adjusting mine! This is defiantly a cool project just taking me longer than others.

4.Well sorry guys I have no pictures of my design I keep changing the design and re designing them so It changes a lot. But with my reality check people told me my chair had no pizzaz and I get that because I know it doesnt. But the design I am kinda sticking to is a peanut type chair. I will defiantly add a picture of that. But I hope all of everyone else works out well. I suggest everyone goes an looks at the rest of my classes blogs all of their chairs and stool tables look awesome!

I explained to her what is was and than. I walked back tot he front door and walked in and showed it to her. She was like oh wow that looks amazing im so proud of you. I was  like aww thanks bon. :D

WiKi Seat write up...Ya"ll

Well we gotta write about our wiki seat. Here I go, It was defiantly a challenge but It was very interesting. I never really thought of how to actually build it. The seat girrllll don't get me started! That was defiantly what grinded my gears. It was like the seat had a mind of it's own. I have a construction background I am really good at building furniture but this seat was like nah man I am not going to do that for you. Than it was like yolo. I was stumped, than figured it out. But knowing where all of the little mistakes are I am my own worst enemy.

The legs were pretty easy I thought it would have been a lot harder but as i was saying it was the seat that gave me the most trouble. Measurements were kinda hard to figure out in the beginning but onceI got a little feel of the heigh and what was too high and what wasn't it got a lot easier.
Thinking back on it now some things I would change is taking this project a lot more seriously. I defiantly could have done a better job!, I mean it's good and all but just not the version in my head that I thought it could be. Having a furniture building back round making what I see in my head is what makes it all, The seat not coming out as well as I had hoped sucked a lot, I hated it but it's not too bad it does it's job. So all in all I would have changed how I thought about building it.
As well as the struggles I had building it I did learn somethings about myself, I am defiantly not a seat maker, tables,storage compartments,bench's yes but not seats or stools. But thats okay nothing wrong with that.

I am happy I made this for someone else, My twin she did choose the colour and design also stayed up with me till 1 am painting. It did feel good, But not amazing I am just that type of person.
On that point I am happy that I got it done that was great. I was more excited having and getting it done than actually giving it to someone. Seeing the final product was what got me happy. Building the seat did teach some new things but skills not really I already knew how to do everything.
 I probably went through the design process all in different steps. I still got it done. like yes! The steps were hard making it was hard painting it was hard stayed up till 1 am! Just to get it perfect even tho it kinda turned out not the best. It was all hard but I would do it all over again. It was really fun, I built mine at a friends house. So it was pretty fun.Being on the wiki seat website seeing other peoples wiki seat. I was like wow I wish I could get mine like that. It looks amazing .
That is my seat story not the best not the worst.
But tell me, what's your story?
