Just a note to say that this will be the very base of the walls in the bedroom.

saw this and thought it would look good on the table, perhaps filled with 'wine' or 'whiskey'

Hi Everyone,

Every Wednesday and Friday im at Animate and Create helping with the Canterbury Anifest so i don't come into uni. Other Personal things has disrupted my study so i haven't attended the last few weeks aswell as having to go home. I have got alot to show though as im passionate about set build/design and do work from home when every possible, also i want to make a massive effort and make up for my absence. i hope you all have a good easter and ill see you all when were back.

Photos from making the flats

These are the photos i took on monday of production of the flats.Everyone can take what they need for their own blogs etc.hope they are okay :)

Quick note

So we've done really well and almost all the flats are finished, just need to finish headers, put on one more skin and finish routing, I think this is great, so now we need to make the furniture. I am aware that some of it is being bought but most of it needs making so tomorrow and thursday we will be doing that, the plan is to meet tomorrow at 11:30 and start building things like table and chairs and such things, if you cant make it tomorrow please let me know, you all have my number or you can blog me. we have started the writing desk and the bed. We should have more skins thursday. tomorrow we could have the coffee table, the writing desk and bed finished, hopefully. see you soon.

Sorry

Im really sorry i havent really been in this week, i have been having to deal with alot of issues at home.i hate not been involved and seeing the process. Im beginning to look for the items i need to make in charity shops etc and i have completed my autocad aswell updating my blog with necessary info.It is just the film reviews that i need to complete but that can be done towards the end.Im sorry for leaving you guys but its just been stressful this week but i will see you all at 10 on monday and im willing to stay until whenever to finish whatever is necessary, is there anything you wish me to do in the mean time?

Building day 3

So today was day three of building, we have now made all the frames for the flats in the livingroom and just need the bedroom ones to be finished and to put on the skins for all the frames. there was only one small problem and that is that we actualy have to many 4x8 but its fine these can be taken apart and the wood used for something else no biggie.

Unfortunately only 7 people turned up today for the build, and there were only 6 of us working at one time, even though you were all messaged about it, I realize that some people have jobs and other important reasons why they were unable to come and thats fine but there were a few that didn't even bother to let us know they weren't coming. The problem with so many people not showing up is it slows the whole process down, realistically we should of had the flats completed for the living room with skins and all. I'm sorry if this message makes you angry and I sound like I'm having a go but the fact is this is slowing us down its really important you show up for group work. I also want to inform you that Ive been advised by the tutors to start a register for the meetings and for the building, this will then be handed in with everything so they can see who's been attending in non lesson time. This isn't just a rant about not helping but not showing up too often will effect you as well you guys do such great work.

On Monday we start at 10am so I hope to see you there, I'm sorry again that I sound like I'm moaning. I try not to honest.

an apology

Im sorry i havent been with it this week but I have been trying to sort out storage for all my stuff at halls. On top of that havent been well and had to sort that out too. I know its no excuse but i will be back on track monday to help out with the set construction. I can assure you its not through laziness as i need to know how to build it as much as you do but this hasnt been a great week for me and its unfortunately spilt over into my uni life.

On a more positive note my autocad is finished- i have only done one of the chairs as i struggled with it. I intend to make one from scratch (it wont be sit-on-able) and hopefully buy one and alter it. I will start making after easter as my nan has one of the chairs and im going to have a good look at it at easter so i know how to get it looking the best i can. I am looking for a rocking chair- anyone know where i can look for one? Cheap junk shops? I might go today and see if i can find anything if i have time.

If anyone wants to look at my blog i went to the V&A and took some pictures of art nouveau furniture there- it might be useful. There was a nice fire screen and a really nice chair. Also a plate and vases which could be made by us to look similar?
