In today's lesson, i have created my caro sculpture, with the help from my 3D instructors Adam and Brad. I first had to measure out where my pillars were going on the base and then cut out 4 holes.
I did this by drawing around rectangular pieces of wood that i had measured to fit into each pillar exact. I then used the pillar drill to drill 2 holes in the 4 rectangles marked out on the base and then used a chissle to  create a neat edge. Once i had done this i had to check that the wood would still fit correctly.

Then once i knew they were the Correct Size i had to cut the pieces off wood doen to the correct size using the ban saw. I also had to add on an extra 12mm so That it would fit correctly into the 12mm base. I could now glue the wooden stands and the pillars into place using Adhesive.
This Shows the pillars glued into place, and I think that using the wood to go inside the pillars worked really well as they were able to stand on their own a lot easier. I then Began using adhesive to glue the arches together, in different directions to create a more abstract look.

Once the Glue had set i was able to glue it into place onto my sculpture, and also add the balustrades onto It. I think that My sculpture and planning  seemed to work really well, as my sculpture turned exactly as I'd planned.

this is the final outcome:
