SG/GK Update: Round Table!

[nakedbee]

eekabelle, mister_b33, and I had a good time today building the round table for the Camelot feasting scenes.

We started out with 144 feet of 2x4s, a bunch of screws, a few nuts & bolts, and some power tools. Pretty soon we had an assembly line going and were churning out trestles left and right.


mister_b33 came up with a very clever x-wing design that made efficient use of lumber. They even fold flat for storage!


We made 8 trestles in all and topped them with convenient pre-cut 2'x4' hardboard panels. The whole thing will be covered in tablecloths for the shoot, so we're not painting or staining the wood. Voila! Complete seating for 16. Well, except for the part where we've only acquired 3 chairs so far ...


eekabelle designed the benches that we'll be using in several scenes (the picture, obviously, is of eekabelle, not the benches). We bought supplies to make them, but were tired out by all our shopping so we decided to watch Muppets From Space instead and leave the benches for tomorrow. A wise choice, I'm sure you'll agree. :)

Yay for successful construction parties! I had my own powwow dress design and construction party yesterday. 10 hours of shopping and construction later and I have...a shirt! Next month, the skirt! :-)

Personally, I'd rather be playing with power tools and piles of lumber with you guys than acting as a sewing assistant all day, but that is probably because of all of the annoying little detail work that we were doing yesterday.

Congratulations on the shirt! I must say I am really appreciating the opportunity to make so many different things while getting to be quite sloppy about the details. Mostly the details won't show up since the photos in the book will be pretty small, and for anything that does end up being visible ... well, there's always Photoshop!
