it is still in the experimental stage since there's really a lot of factors to consider, like the: durability of the material over time, wood-eating insects (or infestation), and what paint to use on them...
since i have been accumulating a lot of used matchsticks for the past few weeks..
i decided that i should come up with some new model(s)..
and i thought of creating a new plate design..
coz the plates (model 01 or simply 'plates') looks too simple...
and here's what i came up with..
i made these during the early part of April...
unlike the basic or the first model, this type has spaces in between each stick..
each space being as broad or as thick as a single matchstick..
they're quite tricky to produce, coz only the tips are being glued for most part..
i make use of heavy materials with straight edges as guide, just to make sure that each side of the plate would also be straight (90 degrees for every corner)..
plus, while gluing, i need to temporarily put matchsticks in place of those spaces, to come up with spaces of almost the same sizes and also to keep the sticks in the inner side of the plate straight while still waiting for the glue to dry...
i think i can make use of some of these as air vent...
