Making the Prototype

Change in plans...

I decided to change the entire frame of the design, so that the frame itself would be views as a tree, rather than a frame, with an image of a tree cut out of it...

Initial sketch:


However this design needed a lot of work and different materials, because the branches would not be strong enough to support the bars once pressure is applied by the sitter.

Instead of using formply for the frame I would have to use plate steel (5mm).
And the method of assembly would change too, as I would now have to weld the steel together. rather than inserting it into the holes, drilled into the formply.
