3D Workshops - Machine Shop Induction


Today we became familiarised with the machines in the wood workshop. The wood workshop can prove a vital factor for designing sets, and crafting characters for stop motion (most commonly). Having studying Product Design prior to my degree I was already very familiar with the machines and it was great getting to use them again to craft our base plate. I personally cut my base of wood, then on the pillar drill, drilled 2 holes 60mm apart where the legs of my character will situate.



With another piece of wood we tested using the ban saw to craft shapes, using relief lines to construct more difficult shapes. Then we took our wood and tested it on the sander.
