1. When creating my set flats I realised that it would be too constly and time consuming to do as many as I wanted, which was 4 on each side. So I decided to make cut off flats that are commonly used to suggest that the wall goes on.
2. First of all I was going to use two wooden sheeting flats however it was sugested by julie that I could use one and use the reverse for the other side. I did this by using the jigsaw to cut a diagonal across the flat in a random pattern.
3. I then needed to make a frame for flats that would support the flat. I did this using the 2 by 1 battons. I used a but joint at the corner and then used the power drill, 1cm wood screws, a countersinking drill bit and a pilot hole drill bit to attach it to the board.
4. When I lifted up the flat I found it to be too wobbly and it needed support so I decided to add a diagonal 2 by 1 batton to add support. I used a cut of joint to do this. This is done by diagonaly cutting the additional batton so it can sit cleanly on an angle, e.g (picture 1). I could have done this with a hand saw however time was limited so I adjusted the circualr saw so it could cut on a 45 degree angle.
Here is how it looked after it was attached.
