Making of the prototype

Below are the processes taken in order to create the table prototype.

Using the square storage box I vacuum formed the shape to create the mould base.

The thick plaster mixture was then poured into the mould and left to harden.

When complete the cast was removed by pealing off the tape to then widen the shape.

Using the band saw measuring the size accuratly, I cut the plywood pieces to size and shape.

The legs were then assembled by using a wood glue as this was only a prototype. In reality I would use a dowel joint and it hidden and secure.

Finally the moulds were placed on top of the table acting as the surface for a coffee table. As you can see I have made 2 which vary in height and have different surfaces, I felt the wax casting process created a really nice finish and would work well against the ply.
