I began to make my 1:1 model in zanita board for the first time and hit a few bumps along the road.
The first was that when assembled, I hadn't considered the thickness of the zanita board in some places, causing the stool to have gaps in places where it shouldn't and not enough space where it needed to be.
It also ripped at the corners because of a build up of folded zanita so I had to cut out space to allow the zanita to bend freely.
There was a huge issue with the bending of the tabs and calculating the slotting location because it had to be precise in order for it to work.
Aside from the small details, I was very happy with how the overall look turned out. It is also quite sturdy and strong which made me realise I wouldn't need the internal supports after all. I also removed the bottom flaps because after realising the thickness of zanita board, it only made the stool more likely to wobble, hence I removed it all together which was a great move because it now sits very flat, nice and firmly.
Throughout this whole process, I notated on my pattern all the changes I needed to make for the final stool.
