Latest project: interlocking wooden thingy

Hi,

Sharing my latest laser project, a gift for my wife’s 5 year cancer free anniversary :slight_smile: !!!

5 separate pieces that can sit in 2 configurations - as a 5 or as a family

Made up of 4 layers of 6mm ply (24mm in total, so it can stand upright as well)

Process, a pencil sketch, vector sketches - quite a few tests to get the shapes to fit and just sanding the final pieces for now.

As ever, lots of places to improve but very satisfying to make this kind of thing as I never have before.

This came out great!

That would be good to cut on a scroll saw in solid wood too !

Looks good.

This is "maker"ism at it’s best. You have built something intimate and personal, spent time on the design, executed it correctly, and shared the process with us! Great job!

Really nice bit of design :slight_smile:

Hi Nick,

We are starting to look at our content inclusion for the Dulwich festival Maker fair we have a “Don’t be Shy! submit your Make” event happening on Friday. Would this be of any interest to you maybe and/or do you know anyone else I can reach out too?

Cheers
