Sam Wilson, Interdisciplinary Sculpture, 2023<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Sam is a junior Interdisciplinary Sculpture student primarily focused on furniture design, and is from Houston, Texas. He is interested in creating practical works involving different techniques of wood bending and Japanese joinery with recycled, reused, or environmentally friendly materials. Sam hopes to learn all the 3D modeling skills he can and apply it to his furniture-making toolkit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project II: Tool Bag<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The thought process behind making this was to have a more efficient and organized way to travel with tools and supplies instead of just dumping them in a pile in my backpack. Using spare canvas, elastic, velcro, and zippers I had, I stitched 5 pockets and 7 elastic loops onto a flat sheet of canvas. It is designed to be rolled up and clipped onto the outside of a backpack. The buckle is a modified copy of a belt buckle.

Project III: Caterpillar <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a class, we decided to work on our final project all together dividing the labor to suit our individual skills. We began with splitting into three groups to develop three different chassis designs and later met up again to decide which would work best. We then discussed how the final “look” of it should be, settling on camouflaging the chassis and instruments with a fabric covering. Smaller groups were again formed to develop designs and problem-solve for where the instruments should rest, how the fabric would drape and be secured, how the chassis would be worn, and how we could reduce the weight. The build was not completed until the final day, and after a brief band practice we paraded around campus to entertain other students and visitors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research: Advances in Joinery from Digital Fabrication<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Digital Fabrication has massively improved Joinery in that it offers adaptability, expedites the manufacturing process, and creates a wide variety of new design opportunities. There\u2019s been a resurgence of exposed joinery in the west, especially within furniture design, aided by the practice of digital fabrication. This allows for the development of non-permanent connections where the product can be disassembled if needed, creating an opportunity for modularity. 3D models can also be adjusted between projects to manage its structural integrity and are easy to share and download online. Without machines like CNC routers, Laser cutters, and 3D printers, the capacity of manual tools to create this precise joinery are limited by the maker\u2019s skill and speed. Digitally fabricated joinery has accelerated the trend of exposed joinery in furniture by highlighting it as an intentional part of the design, as opposed to a \u201cseamless\u201d appearance, and by making it look aesthetically pleasing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
