Tent Progress

Here are some shots of the progress that I have made on my tent during todays class. I focused on crafting the tent poles. To bend the poles into position, I first took the heat gun and ran it along the joint area, then bent the PVC around a wooden circle jig. Once all the pole were bend into place, I taped the bottoms together and mounted it against the bottom of a wall. This allowed me to make a template from paper for the vinyl fabric cover. I removed the cover, took apart the poles and sanded them down. They are now ready for primer and aluminum paint.
