We began by focusing on building a strong framework. We all decided to use wood to build our frames but designed different shapes - some cuboid, some triangular prism shaped and even a pyramid shape. We used our measuring and sawing skills before making strong joins using PVA glue and cardboard triangles for added strength and stability.
