Bagatelle Table

Ponoko — Fri, 16 May 2008 04:59:42 GMT

At the end of last year we spent a day at the office working on our own holiday creation challenge. Dan challenged the team with a brief to "design and make something that would keep a child entertained for hours". This is Team 1's design - it's sort of a hybrid mashup of a 'parlour' bagatelle with a pinball machine inspired ball launching mechanism. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagatelle We created a simple box from good ol' reliable and underrated hardboard with an insert in the base made from Italian poplar, for contrast The base then had some holes cut and scores engaved. As it was a very complex design we concentrated on getting an initial prototype out very quickly. Things we learnt from that process: • nodes are incredible the first prototype fell apart, the final design was such a tight fit that it required clamps but once in place held better than glue http://www.ponoko.com/mingleandshare/design_tips • the force of the spring pulling on the back of the box required us to add in a second plate • we had to tweak the holes by countersinking them, otherwise the ball tended to run right over them. • the raster engraving was too deep in places and the ball often got caught in it and followed it down. • we cut several different curves to fit in the top to see which worked the best to create some randomness in the balls trajectory With some tweaking of the locations of obstacles and additional decoration this could definitely provide 'hours of entertainment'.

Endoplasm Hanging Planter

pollen — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 01:08:31 GMT

The Pollen Endoplasm is a light weight hanging planter made from Italian Poplar ply, It is designed to string together with other Endos to form daisy chains of greenery in and around your home. The Endo measures 395wx375h mm. Follow the steps in the photos to assemble your planter. You will need 3mx2mm synthetic chord to make the hanger. By cutting 1m off and using together with the remaining 2m length you can form a loop for hanging. Pay special attention to the knots used - this figure 8 knot loosens off easily for adjusting the level later. Staining and or coating your planter will extend the life of this untreated plywood, I used a red wood dye and boiled linseed oil.

Mini Spice Cabinet

Chromatophobic — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 03:30:12 GMT

You can make your own mini spice cabinet with sliding doors. The cabinet is designed to be cut from a 4mm material such as Eurolite Poplar. It measures H108mmW378mmD80mm. The depth and height are largely constrained by the P2 template, but the height can be increased, although that will require taller doors that won’t fit on a P1. Most of the joints in this design are interlocking, so little glue is required to hold everything together. To assemble this cabinet you will require: • PVA or wood glue • Small model making clamps or bulldog (stationery) clamps for clamping small pieces • F-clamps or masking tape for holding together final model Assembly instructions: 1. Slot in + glue top door guides [2+3] into top [1] = [1+2+3]. The raster engraved grooves should be facing up toward the guides 2. Glue bottom lining [7] to bottom [6] on the grooved side = [6+7]. Side and back tab edges should be perfectly aligned. 3. Glue together the back [6+7] and top [1+2+3]. The back piece [6+7] should be facing in the same direction as the door guides [2+3] 4. Slot + glue back top support [5] into back [4]. 5. Glue bottom lining front strip [8] to [6+7] on the grooved side. Align with front edge with side edges protruding evenly 6. Glue together back [9] to bottom assembly [6+7+8]. The back piece [9] should be facing in the same direction as the raster engraved grooves and the lining and guide pieces [7+8] 7. You now have the bottom and top parts assembled. Next is attaching these to the sides 8. Slot in and glue top [1+2+3+4+5] and bottom [6+7+8+9] to one of the sides [10]. Works best when the side piece [10] is lying flat, and the other components are insterted into the slots from above 9. Place the other side [10] flat on the working surface and insert the assembly into the slots. This is a tight fit, so you may need a rubber mallet or something heavyish on hand to help with the slotting. 10. Either use the f-clamps to hold everything together while the glue sets, or tightly wrap masking tape around the box 11. Allow at least 12 hours for the glue to dry. Sand off any messy glue globs, prime and paint the cabinet. 12. Once the paint is completely dry, insert the sliding doors. Additional notes: The only pieces that have different front and back are the top [1] and the bottom [6] pieces. Try assembling the parts first without gluing to make sure you’re comfortable with the assembly. The tabs are designed for a tight fit, so perfect alignment is important. Making cost: This is for 4mm poplar and 3mm clear acrylic. Cabinet materials = $8.00 , cabinet making = $18.73 , Doors material = $2.15, doors making = $287

Tulip flatpack vase

Chromatophobic — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 03:24:45 GMT

There are only two different lasercut pieces in this design: Petal x 8 and Ring x 2. The petals are slotted into the rings and are held apart by a test tube. The 150mm x 25mm glass test tube makes the vase hold rigid, so there is no need for glue. Because there are only two different laser cut components in this design, it's very easy to adjust the dimensions of the slots for different material thicknesses. Plywood - Eurolite (Italian Poplar) 4.0 mm P2 - 384.0 mm long x 384.0 mm wide Making: $15.33 Material: $8.00 Total: $23.33
