Building the Table

• Industrial materials, used scaffolding wood and scaffold poles to create the table
• We use clamps to allow the table to open and pivot
• Concerned about the weight of the wood? -how can we make this safer?

The inspiration for the table came from The Wired Cafe- the industrial feel of the cafe gave a nice aesthetic to the story and it felt like a place in which the character go for coffee as a group of friends.

Attaching the scaffolding boards to a piece of MDF, this will be the base that attaches all the pieces together and allows the boards to lift up for the end scene.

 Theses are the clamps that allow the table to open and pivot. We had trouble in rehearsal initially before making the table as the ends would not line up when pushes back together.

As you can see from the picture the attachment of the hinged support was not ideal for health and safety. We decided to drill a screw into the main body of the board, underneath to give a better lock onto the support, and to reduce the risk of injury.
