I began the project by establishing to objects of mine that I wished to add value to: my sketchbooks and my studio desk. For the former, I designed and CNC milled a pair of wooden covers for my sketchbooks using profile operations; a literal set of armor for my written ideas. For my studio desk, I began by taking, arguably, the most iconic tool of the architect (and architecture student), the scale, and using it to create a vessel to make tools on my desk more organized and accessible. I used holes drilled at 5/16" to allow for all-thread to be used in conjunction with bolts to hold the project together and create a reveal in the form of the abstracted scale. Due to the wood shop being "at capacity" over the weekend, I did not have access to the pneumatic sanding disk that I had planned to use to soften the edges on my sketchbook covers (although I will be making this refinement as soon as I can.
