Frame first, cladding last

The workshop's first day. The makers were asked to find the worst part of the drawing.

Fig. 01The steel reinforcement for a bench base is welded first. Load-bearing parts use new steel; reclaimed tile is only ever the surface.

Dimensions changed before anything was cut. Frames were welded and checked bare for level and wobble. Ceramic fragments went on only after that, every edge ground so a child's hand could run along it.
