Working in the Studio

The equipment used to create shapes vary:


The base was cut using the band saw with the circular cutter, as it is with the left and right hemispheres. The edges of the shapes were sanded down using the circular sander to rid of any sharp splinters that may be a health hazard.

The plastic tubes were cut with the band saw into the desired lengths and screwed onto the base.

The blocks that hold the hemispheres in place   are pieces cut off from a long length of wood, and sanded into shape with the belt sander.

The two hemispheres were made using different thickness of MDF to create balance and depth.
