We have just gotten a project to make some hanging lamps,
for this project we need to first make two items,
a large bowl and a cylindrical form piece. In terms of time management we have made
the bowl
and the cylinder in the morning. By late afternoon
they were dry enough to be trimmed. The reason why we had such a thick base
is because we needed to create a hidden platform
with a hole in the middle so that we can insert the lamp
contraption to hang the lamp. Next,
trimming making an opening in the bowl form
make sure that the opening is no larger than the diameter of the cylindrical form.
Once you have it, score and slip the edges
and attach the cylinder form to the ball,
then seal the joint quickly.
We will cut the pattern the next day, as we would like this piece to be a little
stiffer
before we cut through it.
