In the case of Nicola Golfari's Poltrona (Armchair), I learned about structural piping and how to cover structural parts with more finished materials. I'll look into finding 3/8" diameter "hydraulic pipe" and 1 5/8" diameter handrail tube to create a structure. Mike informed me that "hydraulic pipe" is only something that would be used for a hydraulic press specifically. The pipe pictured in the DIY book is more likely zinc coated aluminum or steel. I am to go to Stadium Hardware where they are knowledgeable about such things and where they have pipe cutters that can add a thread to the pipe. |
Perhaps in the meantime, I will work on transporting the ooze into a container that takes up less space than the massive couch mock-up. Note to self: the finished product must fit through the doors of the IP studios.
