Trumpet and horn speaker

Have a project due in on Tuesday that involved creating a desktop item out of other unused items. So I have created this speaker. The idea is the speaker itself it in the trumpet.
I am so happy with this design.
Hopefully after it has been marked I get to take it home and get it working!

Stripped and Sanded

My chair has FINALLY been stripped and sanded, it took so long because I did about an hour a week (sometimes less) when I was taking the leather off. It was very difficult to take the leather off because I didn't have the right equipment but it was worth it. The sanding only took about an hour because it was a light sand, just to lighten the dark colour and to roughen the wood up before painting. Now it's time to thoroughly clean the wood before painting!!

Final Models

Here are my final models for my project at college. They are both based on character personalities from a comic Go Get a Roomie. I'm super happy with the results of the models!

Model Going Well

Finally the steambending has worked well enough that it could be put on a model! It's only a little bit but it makes me really happy. The wood is going to be painted on this model, but the other wont be fully painted. I am planning to keep the top exposed and to keep it pinned down with staples. It doesn't completly go with the 'hippy' look the other model is based on, but it will give it an interesting look...so you will have to wait to see the finished pictures!

Steaming

I had another go at steaming wood today, it has looked like it's worked. It helps that I have a new box and steamer, me and my dad built an industrial looking steamer and it's awesome and works brilliant.

I apologise if you can't read the writing on the picture well.

Steam Box Success....Possibly

I have finially managed to bend some wood using my homemade steam box! Unfortunatly the wood broke slightly when bending it around the mould, and it didn't quite fir the mould. But hopefully the wood will keep shape when I take it out the of the mould tomorrow.
Fingers crossed!
