The construction of the Waverley window took about two weeks to build and a further one week to paint.
As a group we decided to start off by making the two columns of each side of the window.
We started by gathering the measurements and constructing the frame of the columns, using MDF we made the frame and figured out that to strengthen the structure and to make it more stable, we created a board to insert into the middle of the length of the column. This did in fact help and made the structure more stable and ensured the frame would keep its shape.

From these two columns we then went on to making the window frame. This took a day to construct and we learnt how to use useful machinery that we would later need to develop our knowledge and practise further.
At this stage there was plenty for us all to do. We worked well at this point and moved on quickly through the construction process.
