Working on the Base

I don't know if you noticed but the base when last we looked was clamped to the stool it was sitting on. That was because it would tip over forward if it wasn't. So in order to correct that I added an extension on the front.



I hoped this would correct the tipping problem, and it did nicely. However then I needed to move the front edge forward to the new front edge. So I had to clip the rail and re-bend it.





I also needed to add a little piece to the front rail because now it is a little longer than it was.




Abby felt it came out well.



Oddly my beginning cartoon of the base started very close to this final proportion and I made it thinner to clean up the lines. I should trust my first instinct.



Lastly I began to cage out the base so that I can cut small pieces of sheet to skin the base. Did not finish.
