stool project (har har)

JUST finished this project. So we were given a ridiculously thin piece of poplar wood (dimensions were 10"x60"x<1"). On top of that, we could only have four pieces constructing the form with simple connection points (no punch-through cuts). The major limiting constraint was the fact that it had to be completely orthogonal; everything had to be ninety-degrees to each other. There were several approaches that our class took -- some people made a conventional stool. My room mate and I leaned towards the more architectural/space/light/shadow approach.

We had a couple mishaps during the course of this project -- a senior had some kick-back action on the table saw and nearly lost his finger, and one of my classmates seriously nicked his finger on the router. Fortunately, I didnt have any misgivings throughout (phew!)
