brainstorming

  • researching poplar wood

  • profile sketches

  • understanding joint mechanisms

prototyping

  • quick foam core models for ideation development

  • testing limits of sturdiness and balance with proportional measurements

technical drawings using SolidWorks & analog renderings of woodworking process

  • analog drawing of fabrication process with woodshop tools (I anticipated to physically make this book table, but the COVID-19 pandemic led me to finish with digital renderings only)

  • digital book table renderings completed on Keyshot
