OK, I will explain what is running through my head in relation to both projects to facilitate the brainstorming process.
1. For the Sigil of Baphomet, I am thinking of getting either an unfinished wooden plaque from an art supply store, or an unfinished circular table.
I have access to an image enlarger and although it might be hard to line up precisely, I am fairly certain that I could probably pull off a suitable tracing in pencil and work from there, after applying a base coat of white acrylic. The rest I will fill in with black acrylic.
2. For the altar, I imagine that I will need to construct a framework first, and then simply nail thin wooden boards to this for the shape.
My biggest concern here is that the angles may be hard to achieve. Also this would have to be structurally sound if it were to support any weight. I could not possibly ask a female friend to lay across it only to have it collapse!
As for the Sigil, I think I can manage fairly well, but if anyone has made this sort of thing before I am very interested to know what kind of paint and varnish seems to work best.
For the altar, I am rather clueless as to it's construction. Even pointing the way toward a book that describes how to build similar things would help a lot. I am definitely good at geometry, but have never bothered about building a three dimensional trapezoid before! So any practical knowledge in this area will be very helpful to me.
Thanks Again.

I was able to procure an old overhead projector from the school district (for free  ). What I did was have a photo copy of a sigil printed onto a clear transfer sheet (kinko's can to this) Then I just projected it onto the wall and painted it. As for my alter, I used an old coffee table that was made of 2x4's and placed full body mirrors (purchased at walmart for $5.00 each) around the bottom to hide the legs and angled them a bit. You can be very thrifty, or you can go extravagant depending on your budget and resources.

Hello! Here is the link to the pictures of my altar: (second project on the page) SLinie Art: Inner world I used hand embroidery, other normal sewing techniques, the materials are from second hand clothes. These materials were very cheap but their quality is good. The textile parts of the altar and the book are my works. I constructed the trapezoidal form simply with old boxes fixed on a table, under the textile layers. Of course I use my altar safely because the lots of textiles. I must hide it frequently, but this altar is very mobile. The book was made from silk, cotton and paper.
