A parabolic curve is drawing two line without letting it become parallel and insert the same amount number of point then line those dot together to get a perfect curve. This is how it works.
Tools that I use:
- Pencil
- Ruler
- Sketch paper
- Steel Wire
- Walnut wood
- Bandsaw
- dwell
- Screwdriver
Stages:
- First I design a parabolic curve that I want to make in my Sketchbook.
- Then I tape the steel wire on my design to make a little model before I do my final piece with the wood.
- After making sure that my design works perfectly, I use the bandsaw to cut out the walnut wood to the wood stick.
- Finally, I put everything together by drilling the hole in every wood stick that I have cut out.
Process:
Final Piece:
For my future work, I would like to make things with the wood because I found that I enjoy a lot with this material that I choose to use this time. I also think that it is a very durable and flexible material to create and construct something.
Example of a parabolic curve:
This is the Oculus in New York that has the parabolic curve on its structure.
