New Box

On the Left is an image of my coils I extruded. they are 1.5 in thick and around 1.5 ft long, these will be hand rolled to fit the desired width for the project. Image on the right is the idea. I would like to create 2 of these boxes but realize it may take too much space to do them all at ones. It's a rectangle box, 25in tall 25 cm wide. will have a bottom and possibly a lid. will be glazed accordingly.

First i extruded all the coils to save time. Then i slabed out 4 parts and cut the to the size I needed. The next step  I will work on tonight is to start coiling on top of the slabs a pattern of a horizontal split dinomd and vertical coils. I'm going to then slab a base and assemble the 4 sides to this. After that sets up I'm going to create the base. a sq. with dimonds cut out. I'm very excited about this piece. If all goes well I'm going to try and make a second to make a pair. I also played wiht the idea of reversing the coil pattern on the second for contrast. 

As you can see alot of space is required to work on all 4 at once. also another whole table to work the coils to desired thickness.

Here are some images of the work i did last week when the studio was empty, 5:30 pm - 6:30 am.

first I scored all the slabs so i could attatch the coils to make the pattern.

next I rolled out coild from my larg collection thate were extruded beforhand. I rolled a set of medium coils, about 1/4 in thick. then i rolled those out further to about 1/8 in thick.

I put all coild side by side and then cut out my priangle shape.

took the coils apart and attatched each one individually.

did this for all four slabs.

Then i used 3 medium coils vertically on the top, and 3 on the bottom. attatche these the same way.

After I attatched all 24 of these i continued to roll out more medium coils to the smaller size.

this is where i really about lost my mind. this took forever to attatch these onto the rest of the slab. I completed one slab and have to finish the last step on the other 3.
