Spirit of Japanese Joinery: Modular Bench System v1.1

Laser cut plywood, 1/6th scale

The second pass at my modular system of components includes formal and functional refinements.

These changes include the change in the shape of each fourth groove, allowing the legs to remain splayed outward, even when extending the bench along the length. Additional cuts are made to allow for the side table configuration, handholds, and so on. The process of choosing what features to prioritize continues.

Persisting issues include difficulties securing the top, overhangs when changing direction, and limited aesthetic success.
