The cube side table is an exploration of 3-way miters and achieving a simple for using complex joinery and assembly.
The clamping mechanism for gluing 3-way miter is complex and cannot be achieved using clamps. This requires holes through which metal cord is strung and tightened till substantially tight. Its also challenging to get the form together since the domino's inside the miters form undercuts that are challenging to deal with during assembly, especially if not assembled in the right order.
The orange accents provided by the cord pays homage to the process responsible to get the form together.
The gaps on the sides of the top allow for easy lifting as well as providing an attractive cable management solution
Gluing & Assembly process
The cube is assembled by joining an 2 assembles of 5 parts with 2 singular parts. This is done because the domino blocks form undercuts which make the assembly harder and harder to assemble if done so one part at a time.
