The fine furniture project presented below is documented with humor, frustration, and ultimately, wildly successful results. If you’ve been following Sawyer Design’s YouTube content, it’s obvious that Nick has a knack (hehe) for innovative furniture design. He’s taking complex ideas and breaking them down into practical and interesting solutions.
Thoughtful design meets repeatable CNC precision, and the results are of a particular level of quality not easily achieved. Be careful, or you may find yourself talking to your friends and family about a new-found love of the elusive “squircle”!
Nick uses his ShopBot Desktop MAX ATC CNC machine for multiple aspects of this build. He takes advantage of the repeatable precision for curves and joinery to achieve his signature sculptural results.
In the above video, Nick explains his inspiration and proceeds to take us on a journey into unexpected places. This video had us on the edge of our seats. There’s a nice arc to this story and we hope to hear what you think of the results. Email marketing@shopbottools.com if you’d like to share your thoughts or your ShopBot CNC work.
