Some process pictures of me making the furniture

Some process pictures during my planning stages- using blue foam to create small prototypes and doing technical drawings on Rhino. As you can see, the final design of my bedside table is different from what I planned.
Through this project, I have learnt to compromise and accept that my final outcome may be slightly different from my planning stage. There may not be materials that I want, time, skills limitations etc. I just have to reduce, let go and just embrace and enjoy the process.
