Wade and removing the constitutional right to abortion, insuring that abortion will become illegal or highly restricted in twenty states, the slogan sounds almost divorced from reality-an indication, perhaps, of how difficult it has become to comprehend the power and the right-wing extremism of the current Supreme Court. Now that the Supreme Court has issued its final decision, overturning Roe v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization-a case about a Mississippi law that bans abortion after fifteen weeks, with some health-related exceptions but none for rape or incest- was leaked, a slogan has been revived: “We won’t go back.” It has been chanted at marches, defiantly but also somewhat awkwardly, given that this is plainly an era of repression and regression, in which abortion rights are not the only rights disappearing.
In the weeks since a draft of the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. I soon stopped that idea when I priced up the Velcro! The Velcro on the frame is simply stapled to the wood, and is only present at the corners, and a couple of saggy bits at the front of the side panels.This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from. I was going to Velcro every inch of each panel where the material met it. The hem is also where the Velcro is sewn. The hem is about an inch thick, and is sewn on the inside and outside of the seem edges to give a nice crisp finish. Stage 2 - then go round and pin the hem using the same pin. Stage 1 - pin the whole thing to the corners as you roll the hem. Pinning everything up was a game, until I did it in two stages. too complicated! To measure the covering for the side panels and the door, I put each panel down on top of the material and drew round it, leaving a generous spare for a hem. I was also toying with the idea of a one piece cover. This first picture shows the fabric being chucked over the frame to get an idea how it might look. I wanted something that was opaque, but would still allow the light to shine through it. The frame is covered in White lining fabric. I painted black, all the parts of the frame that might be seen. this is vital, as when you come to screw everything together, those angles need to be correct, or the whole thing will be wonky. Lay the cut lengths out on the ground and MEASURE THOSE ANGLES. In the UK we can get this from DIY shops in bundles of about 6 lengths each 2.4 meters long.
Once you have worked out the lengths you can get your baton. As an example: a piece of card for the door panel that measures 18cm, scaled 10 times would be 180cm, or 1.8 Meters. the dimensions you would scale to something approximating the size you want. You can then measure the dimensions and angles. The process is to make panels out of card, and fit them together using a bit of tape so that you can see what the shape will be like in 3D.
(Unfortunately I don't have a picture of that). I used a cardboard model to work out just how big everything would be. The hardest part of the frame is getting the geometry right. The frame is made of wooden baton and hardboard corners for strength. Time machines need to be at least as big as the people they are going to bring back from the past or future. The design principle was that this should store flat.
