Stop-Motion Cart Prop

To begin with, I designed all the elements of the cart in Illustrator.  I ensured that the design fit within a single A3 sheet. 

I then handed the files, along with a plank of A3 mdf, over to the university laser cutters.  (See above)  This process took around 45 minutes, which was a heartbeat in comparison to how long it would have taken if I had individually cut each piece in the mdf.

I finally glued everything together following my reference images.  It was extremely satisfying watching the prop come together in such a short time.  Within two hours of handing over my illustrator files to the laser cutters, I had completed a prop, ready for painting.
