This is a
remarkably beautiful altar designed for a religious statue,
preferably the Virgin Mary. It is nicely ornamented in gothic style.
This pattern is based in a very old Italian design that I have
reconstructed entirely in the computer. The mounting system of the altar has been
completely redesigned to avoid any fitting difficulties. The pieces
in the corner work as a frame where the inclined pieces lean with
precision. This way
the only thing this project requires to be completed is
time to scroll its many intricate pieces. The fretworked pieces in
the roof can be left open of the interior covered with coloured
linen.
The
altar is designed to be made preferably with 1/4 and 1/8 inches wood
or with 6 and 3 mm wood, but of course it can be resized at will.
The pattern has been slightly reduced, this means the waste copies
for the projects need to be scaled up. The pattern contains detailed
indications on how to scale the waste copies depending on the wood
widths to be used. The following table gives the dimensions of the altar depending on the wood thickness you use:
|
Height |
Side |
1/4 and 1/8 in. wood |
35,2 in. |
14,5
in. |
6 and 3 mm wood |
84.4 cm |
34.8 cm |
4 and 2
mm wood |
56.3 cm |
23.2 cm |
