Project development lecture.

1. Project Development
Process
From Idea to Bench

2. Start with a sketch.

3. Trace the sketch.

4. Try to find a
side view

5. Match tracing to most important
points of original sketch: Lower back

6. Adjust curve on front leg,
notch for back leg

7. Curve inside back to match sketch.

8. Add arm, change back leg.

9. Now working with just sketch as model.

10. Holes for rectangular tubing added.

11. Outline only.

12. Quick evolution to this.

13. Final CorelDraw version.

14. Ready to export.

15. The cut.

16. The weld.

17. Final product.

18. Well, not FINAL final.
Requests for more benches (a lot more)
meant creating a design that was easier to build.

19. Back to the drawing board…
well, drawing software.

20. Configure pattern to save
metal during cut.
4’ x 4’4’ x 4’ 3’ x 5’3’ x 5’

21. Holes for rectangular tubing instead of slats.
But something was still not quite right.

22. Changed arm hole.

23. Side-by-side comparison.

24. Final (?) version.
