Started with creating box frames around all the large electronics, such as the CRTs & large receivers. Laid out and attached those frames together, building out 1x supports and layers as it was built upwards. Built around large pieces to create nooks to then inset more dials and panels. Squared out the sides to start facing with pink foam and attach more pieces to fill empty space. Flattened top level below the reel to reel tape player and final screens with rectangular equalizers that were then covered with a layer of plywood. Finishing touches included adding panels, tubing, wire and cable runs, and levers. Final dressing details and faux finishing led by Shokie Tseumah.

Angled Frame traced out and cut to fit drafting, then faced on each side by lauan sheets that were routed along the edges to sit flush atop the framing. All three sides were then attached together and a platform on the bottom was built to accommodate each angle. Seat atop the platform created and stage weights were attached to the bottom of the unit to prevent toppling. Strips of foam were cut to line the frame for decoration and attached using contact adhesive. Chariot wheels were traced according to drafting and glued up in several layers. Casters were attached to the bottom of the unit for functionality before the unit was given to the paints department to do the final paint treatment.
