Showing the kiosk breaking down into transportable parts.

All the wood (which was collected from the wood free-cycle at uni) has been cut to a standard size of 35mm in width and 7mm in depth to represent a wooden pallet which is around 70mm wide and 14mm thick.

I have made this 2:1 model with no glue.  And the structure breaks down.

5th scale model of kiosk.

Following the previous cardboard model , I developed the design into a to scale model.  Including some idea of where the equipment like the disc sander (blender ) and shredder will be housed.

Model based on Enzo Mari manual Autoprogettazione

This is the first small scale model I did of my kiosk.  It is based on the designs shared in Enzo Mari's open source manual Autoprogettazione in 1974. 

His designs are based on only using standard size planks of pine and a hammer and nails.  

The design of this cart is based on Enzo Mari design for shelving.

Here are some more of the designs, which are accompanied by full instructions.

Hacking a blender into a disc sander

The aim of this experiment was to see if I could turn a domestic blender into a disc sander that allows the top to be changed easily.   The means I could have options of different grades or sandpaper and still allowing me to use the original blender.  I am not allowed to glue anything to the blender because of the rules my project where everything has to be able to be dismantled.

 

Making a cast of the rotating blender fitting out of resin.

Then making a mould of that cast so that I can produce multiple pieces.

Experimenting with heights of disc and fixings. Above the resin part had been drilled into and secured with a bolt and nut. 

I would then stick or velcro a pice of sand paper onto the top and then it becomes a disc sander!

It works!! - for about 10 seconds, then the disc comes flying off whilst spinning very fast, which is quite dangerous! 

To make it work I would need to perhaps have something holding it down in the middle , or cover the right hand side which will not be used to make sure it doesn't come off.
