STEP 1 - WOODWORK

After all of my plans and sketches trying to get the perfect design I could finally get down to the proper work. The first step was to build/make the frame. I did this by starting with the main 4 wooden pillars, and the four smaller pieces of wood to join them up.

First I marked on them the places that i needed to drill so that the dowel could fit in. From the top of the wooden cuboid I marked down 3cm and drew a straight line then I measured 2cm down (the width of the wooden pole) this made a square so I put a X in the square to get the place where to drill. 

Next i need to measure a cm down from the bottom of the square then move to the side to the right/left of the wooden cuboid. Then I need to do the same process of making a square with an X in it diagonally downwards from the last one.

And finally I need to drill the holes and put in dowels.
