The Drawing Machine - Building the Frame

Once we had a solid idea for our machine, we went to the wood workshop to gather the materials and ask about the best way to join it. The first thing the tutor said was that there would be no way to make the leg structure sturdy in our design, which had been a problem since our prototype. He suggested a slightly different design based on a triangular frame.

We also managed to make the entire frame out of spare pieces of wood, which didn't cost anything. We attached it together with screws, and it felt much more stable. We managed to get the entire framework finished in 1 day.
