The mission for this project was to design a piece of furniture from organic shapes. We had to create 1:5 model of the table using basswood. Then a full scale model using 42" red oak balusters
The organic shapes (which lead to the smaller creation below) are being held hostage at my school due to COVID-19.
All the angles were cut but I needed to keep the center beams from bowing.
Needed to add more internal supports to fix bowing issue.
Securing the beams to one another using a domino joiner to form the table tops
For another class I had to make a jig. So I made one to help me with the legs of the table.This jig cut the angled support for each leg.
Securing the beams to one another using a domino joiner to form the legs
Made a stencil to mark where to drill on the table top and legs
Using a drill press to create the dowel holes
Connecting the legs and top together to form the full scale table
Along the framing of each triangular table there are magnets specifically placed. This is so the table can connect in different orientations.
This is the default position
It can be flipped around from the default position to add more length of the table.
It can be oriented to be more of an L-shaped table
The table can also be separated to be used in different areas
No matter what orientation the table is in the magnets along the frame will connect to one another. Unfortunately the ceramic magnets I used are not as strong as I would like them to be. I will be swapping them out with Neodymium magnets. There will be updates in the near future!
