Reflection
Reflection – The Torus This course was insightful but extremely challenging. The reason it was challenging was the nature of the works required. Each project required a large amount of man hours in the workshop. This was so challenging to full time work commitments and workshop opening hours. The reason I have chosen to reflect on the Torus is because it was a project I believe I completed adequately but one that could have been much more effectively if some techniques were changed and I had more time to work on it. I began the process by using a mallet and a log with a channel shaped out of it to shape the middle channel along the sheet. This log acted as a great mould for this channel and also allowed the piece to curve by applying pressure on each end of the sheet with the log holding the centre still. This technique successfully created two of the three different curves on the shape but it had an inherent impact on the two curves found along the sheet. Due
