Pictures of a dry fit of the table, and the fracture that kept me from gluing. I was considering doing some finishing of the plywood (wood bleach) and sapele (more sanding) separately, and when a hinge fractured during a careless dry fit it convinced me to hold off on gluing. In this table's near future is a hinge repair inlay, sanding and I think some tung oil.
Photos of the development of the lounge space and storage unit ideas. Bottom pictures start with of mockup of the lounge space, then moves to various drawings of the storage/divider units, then a cardboard model of a divider we will commit to plywood.

Glue day #1: cut all the hinge components and laminated them. Hopefully they don't stick to one another. Also cut better end pieces for the beam and glued those up.
Well done SEA, every point deserved. First ever.

Added some things to the model of final project fold-down table. Though in the proposal I talked about a very stalwart table, the concept of a heavy table and the concept of a table that folds flat for moving are in conflict, so we are going for a lighter, more skeletal look in this iteration. Also added some hardware, in the form of little legs in the front of the sides and hooks for the beam. (Also some sweet and highly convincing wood skins!!)
Iteration 2: thick "pages" step base which could house electronics, lengthened bay to fit iPhone form factor. Plastic, on/off, and charging discussed as future directions.
More first iteration of incandescent project.
For the second light project, my group and I went about building a heated cardboard pillow. We played with scoring cardboard to change its inherent physical properties.

Print project. "Client" request: something that prevents pencils from falling to the bottom of her bag. Solution came in the form of magnetic pin on bag (with decorative seal backing) and a ring on the pencil to hold another magnet. After a few prints we got just the right dimensions to fit magnet and pencil, then epoxied in the magnets. Also made a ring for a dry erase marker because the screws on the whiteboard of our storage unit are magnetic.
