What Vivek V did here
Reclaimed Wood Delivered for Our First Batch of Frames
We delivered the reclaimed wood to our carpenter, Mr. Jacob, as we prepare for the first production batch of Preamble frames. The recyclable acrylic sheets have been ordered, but cutting them to the required sizes will take two more days. They are expected to arrive together with the recyclable foam backing sheets, after which production can begin.
Giving Reclaimed Wood a New Story
We removed nails from the reclaimed wood, preparing it for a new journey as frames for the Preamble to the Indian Constitution. This was a practical step towards giving the wood a new purpose. The wood will next go to our carpenter, Mr. Jacob, along with recyclable acrylic sheets and recyclable foam backing sheets for frame production.
Exploring photo frame designs for the Constitution’s Preamble
We are exploring the idea of making frames from sustainable materials. They would display the Preamble to the Indian Constitution. We visited IKEA to compare frame designs and chose one we liked as a reference. The idea is to make a similar model with carpenters. They come from Fort Kochi and Mattancherry. We will use local materials where possible. We hope to support local craftsmanship and make the frames more sustainable.
