THE PROTOTYPE.
COMMISCEO CHAIR
DESIGN CONCEPT. TO DESIGN AND BUILD A UNIQUE CHAIR UTILIZING THE TECHNIQUES OF BENDING PLYWOOD WITH LAMINATES. TO EXPLORE WHAT IS POSSIBLE AND WHAT IS NOT, AND HAVE A FINAL PIECE THAT IS STRUCTURALLY STAPLE, COMFORTABLE, AND ATTRACTIVE.

PRODUCTION PROCESS. MAKING THIS CHAIR WAS A LOT OF FUN AND FULL OF LEARNING. I LEARNED THE PROCESS OF WHAT IT TAKES TO BRING MY DESIGN TO REAL LIFE AND THE DECISIONS THAT HAD TO BE MADE. I ALSO LEARNED THE PROCESS OF BENDING WOOD WITH THE USE OF LAMINATES. THAT IS THE KEY FOR THE COMPLETION OF THIS CHAIR AND BRINGING IT TO FULL PRODUCTION.
BUILDING THE WOOD PARTS. A PROCESS USING PLYWOOD LAMINATES WAS USED WITH A VACUUM BAG TO CREATE THE BENT WOOD PARTS.
BENDING MOLD. MADE FROM 3/4" MDF. THE GAPS ARE FILLED WITH FOAM TO PREVENT THE MOLD COLLAPSING IN THE BAG.
LEG GUSSETS. TWO 3/4" GUSSETS WERE CUT AND GLUED TO THE TOP OF THE LEGS FOR STRENGTH.
LEG GUSSETS. TWO 3/4" GUSSETS WERE CUT AND GLUED TO THE TOP OF THE LEGS FOR STRENGTH.
FABRICATING THE FRAME. THE FRAME IS MADE FROM 2"X2" ALUMINUM TUBING FOR ITS LIGHTWEIGHT AND HIGHLY WORKABLE CHARACTERISTICS. ITS CONSTRUCTED FROM FOUR PIECES PRECISELY WELDED AND SMOOTHED TO CREATE AN INTERESTING AND AESTHETICALLY PLEASING JOINT THAT SEEMS AS IF IT IS ONE SINGLE PIECE.
GRINDING AND POLISHING.THE WELDS WERE GROUND AND SANDED TO MAKE A SEAMLESS JOINT AND A SMOOTH SURFACE FOR POWDER COATING.
POWEDER COAT!FOR A SMOOTH DURABLE FINISH.
ALIGNING THE LEGS. THE LEGS WERE CAREFULLY ALIGNED TO CREATE THE CORRECT TRAPEZOIDAL SHAPE ON BOTH SIDES.

MACHINING THE FASTENERS. ALUMINUM ROD WAS DRILLED AND TAPPED TO CREATE THE SPACER TO HOLD THE PARTS TOGETHER. THE DECISION TO CREATE THEM FROM SCATCH WAS MADE FOR THE OPTION OF USING AN ATTRACTIVE AND STONG BOLT OF MY CHOICE.
DRILLING THE ROD. THE ALUMINUM ROD WAS DRILLED ON A LATHE FOR PRECISION AND ACCURACY TO 8.5MM FOR THE M10x1.5 BOLTS.
1/2” ALUMINUM ROD WITH M10x22x1.5 BUTTON HEAD SOCKET BOLTS WITH FLANGES WITH A 22MM DIAMETER FOR THE LARGEST SURFACE AREA.

ASSEMBLY. THE ASSEMBLY PROCESS IS INCREDIBLY SIMPLE. MERELY BOLT THE LEGS TO THE FRAME, THEN PLACE THE SPACERS THROUGH THE SIDE PARTS AND TIGHTEN THE BOLTS. BUILDING REQUIRES MINIMAL TOOLS. ONLY TWO 6MM ALLEN KEYS AND A 15MM WRENCH ARE NEEDED.
PRECISE ALIGNMENT. THE WOOD PARTS WERE FORMED AND FINISHED WITH HARD EDGES AND CLEAN JOINTS TO BLEND AND BECOME A PARTNER FOR THE METAL FRAME. THIS IS WHERE THE CHAIR GETS ITS NAME "COMMISCEO" WHICH IS LATIN FOR "BLEND."

THE TRAINER PUTS A SCENT IN THE BALL. (MARIJUANA, COCAIN, CINNAMON, ECT).
THEN THE TRAINER PUTS THE SAME SCENT IN THE CORRESPONDING TRAY BOX. BLUE BALL WITH BLUE TRAY, RED WITH RED, AND GREEN WITH GREEN.
EVERYTHING IS PLACED AROUND THE POOL. THE DOG GRABS A BALL FROM THE BALL TRAY.
THE DOG FINDS THE CORRESPONDING TRAY BY SMELL, AND PLACES THE BALL THERE. THE DOG DOES THIS UNTIL THEY PLACE EVERY BALL IN THE CORRECT TRAY.
THE REWARD IS A SESSION WITH THE BALL LAUNCHER FOR SOME FUN CARDIO WORK!
THE DOG RETRIEVES THE BALL AND BRINGS IT BACK TO THE LAUNCHER TO PLACE IN THE HOPER FOR RELOADING AND ANOTHER SHOT.

THE POOL SETUP. A POOL IS THE IDEAL LOCATION FOR STRENGTH AND CARDIO TRAINING. THERE IS MUCH LESS STRESS ON THE DOGS JOINTS COMPARED TO RUNNING, WHICH CAN ADD YEARS TO A WORKING DOG'S LIFE. WATER PROVIDES ADDED RESISTANCE FOR A BETTER WORKOUT AND ADDS AN ELEMENT OF FUN FOR THE DOG.
THE BALL. IS THE FIRST PIECE TO THE MENTAL TRAINING ASPECT BY UTILIZING AND FOCUSING ON THE DOG'S KEEN SENSE OF SMELL. THE BALL IS CONSTRUCTED TO BE SUPERIOR IN THE WATER, AND TO WITHSTAND THE MOST VICIOUS CANINE.
