Well, I guess it's time for a long awaited update. I've been working on things, just a little slow on updates. Progress is moving slowly due to no pre planning at all.. Kind of just winging all of the details. I had an idea and now I'm just building it and hoping for the best.
Remember, this needs to be usable space as well as awesome looking. It also has to be able to be taken down if needed (this is providing headaches)
On to the pictures!!
I added more braces to the back side of the bench and also made the height of the braces the same as the seat height, thus creating a lip for a shelf.
I also saw a bubbling lamp thing on another forum and thought I'd like to have one as well. I figured I could incorporate it into the bench. Perhaps not identical to the falcon but this is a different Corillian cruiser or maybe I got a lower end model. Not as many "bells and whistles"
Starting of the thought process.
Still thinking
Kinda liked this but it changed
Almost happy with it but more things have came up. Nothing crazy but ideas and thoughts change things constantly. On to another part of the puzzle.
Gluing pieces to make the back greeblie area of the bench.
Also bought a "vintage" CD storage container because it resembled vents. I wished I'd have kept my identical CD case.
Had to lightly paint them to let me see what they'd sort of look like when done. Plus the dirtier it gets the better, right?
Test fitting and trying things out.
Also decided to try warping some thin wood to give me a cleaner curve.
I wrapped towels around the wood and then soaked them. I then added a curved weight to it. It worked quite well.
Just a little trim needed to smooth it all out.
Thinking... I have got to hide the top of the canister and where the air pump will be. Hide the under part of the vent as well as the upper gap. Trim the curved panel.
Change where the cover shelf ends. Modify PVC placement.
Right now I'm trying to frame it all out then I'll sand/bondo/trim everything.
That's all I got for now.
Thanks for looking!
