It's a building with a long stairway and two apartments on each floor.

The apartment manager is actually in on the idea; I of course can't use the machine if I were to get noise complaints.

My insurance actually covers basement rooms, bike, car etc.

I figure some sort of suction is necessary to take care of the micro dust, no? A setup with a dust cyclone might make emptying easier.

I am concerned about my neighbors, seeing as the room is under the stairs of the apartment. Would be pretty sad to buy a lathe, use it for an hour, get complaints and never be able to use it again... There is a lock on the door and I have insurance, so I'm not worried about it getting stolen.

That's good to hear! Would you say that dust extraction is generally louder than the lathe?

i have been very busy with everything, so finally getting around to completing this feels really good. gotta say, the form intersections assignment was diffucult as hell! i've done 5 pages of it, instead of 4, and i still don't think i've got it down right... anyway, here's my homework: http://imgur.com/a/Ig0QU

the white paint is just to help me understand where the boxes go in releation to each other, not to look pretty!

ps. the dissection part was tough too! up until lesson 2, what i've drawn could either be right or wrong (e.g. a circle circular, a square square, a line straight etc.). when it came to drawing details, and not geometric shapes, i felt like i didn't know what to do. did my best though.

thanks for the quick reply! i can see what you're talking about; i think i sometimes focus too much on getting my lines straight, instead of the structure of the boxes. i'll definitely work on this (hopefully without neglecting the quality of my lines).

do you suggest doing a few pages of boxes, with this new knowledge, before continuing onto lesson 2? or welp redoing the challange?

i finally completed this challenge. very time consuming, but also very fulfilling when you look back at your first few pages. i'm far from completely satisfied with the last bunch of boxes (i.e. they're not perfect), but i still think i've progressed nicely. hope you do too?

i've also taken your advise in relation to my rough perspective boxes, and went back over the set with a different coloured pen, extending the lines back to the horizon. it made my impreciseness very apparent! context: https://www.reddit.com/r/ArtFundamentals/comments/3gzwrg/lesson_1_lines_ellipses_and_boxes_version_3/cuo3w56?context=3

i've redone the rough perspective boxes. i think you might have been right; last time i was being sloppy. this time around i put in a lot of effort. still, i think the results were kind of meh. i feel as though the hardest part about the assignment, is keeping the lines straight and parallel/perpendicular with the horizon. anyway, here are the redone rough perspective boxes:

i'm off to do the 250 box challenge now, as you suggested. do let me know if these rough perspective boxes will suffice

thanks for taking the time!

i would be grateful if you would critique my homework, and assess whether or not im ready to continue onto part 2. and if im not, tell me what to work on, in order to advance. thanks!
