DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
As you probably know, we have been working on multiple projects simultaneously for our studio project. We have been working every day on our individual group projects for our ITC class, and we completed them before the deadline! WHOOP! Here's my group's project's final result: Building these walls, let's say, wasn't as easy as we [...]
On Wednesday, we continued working toward completing components for the pavilion as well as our Metanoia installations. After working out design challenges and coordinating with partners, each group had all of their main components ready to deliver to Reynolds Avenue. This timed up well with the progress on the pavilion for the Conservancy [...]
These past weeks a team has been working on cutting the lumber of our market walls using the CNC for accuracy. After several mock-ups we had made of the walls where we dadoed by hand, we transitioned to using the CNC to ensure accuracy and that all the walls will fit together perfectly. The [...]
Today's activities primarily included progress on Introduction to Craft projects as we look forward to installation onsite this Friday/Saturday. The shop has become a maze of lumber with four additional projects going on alongside the additional thermally modified wood we received to start putting the partition walls together. Onoe of the groups wrapped up their [...]
Thursday and Friday Recap! I'm going to throw it back to late last week when the crews were rolling along, knocking things out, and getting it done. The welding crew were hard at work finishing the last of the wall panels while the rest of the steel crew were working on setting up the overhead [...]
It's been busy in the shop. On Friday, we welded one of the overhead steel bays to completion. This was originally our mockup, which turned out well that it will now become one of the final bays! Throughout the process, we learned a lot about how to improve our workflow. We realized that the bay [...]
It was a busy day for us down in the shop. The day had come. No, not the day we break ground, but the day that we finally received our thermally modified pine for our wall panels. The pallet of materials was dropped off outside in the morning, and we brought it all inside to [...]
If you've been following along with the blog for the past week, you know that we are staying busy in the shop between studio work, Metanoia's Reynolds Avenue Homecoming, and our Introduction to Craft (ITC) projects. If you're just tuning in now, here's a recap: While we wait for permiting and zoning to get approved [...]
Another day another studio. We are entering the culmination of projects in the shop between individual components of the Studio Pavilion and the newly Intro to Craft project. The shop is becoming clustered with incoming materials, materials needed to cut, and materials in progress. . The big goal for this week, is to begin [...]
The woodshop was already packed to the brim with wood and steel fabrication for our studio project. On top of the main studio project, we are doing an additional mini project for a North Charleston non-profit (Metanoia) exhibit that features mini structures with various themes. Though our storage space is dwindling, we would not give [...]
