Progress on Final
Below are some visuals of how I plan to execute my final project. I have chosen to make an outdoor shelter that functions as a rain water catch system. This weekend I went to a fabric store and purchased some vinyl fabric material, chord and sewing equipment. Additionally, I ordered some plastic clips from an online survival shelter website. I can thread the vinyl through the clip which will then allow me to attach it to another material such as PVC pipe. I began working out the plans for what the shelter is going to look like. Here is a rough sketch of my idea. I also began to work on the stakes will help to hold the tent into place. Tomorrow I plan to begin measuring and heat bending the poles of the shelter using jigs.
