Wow! Nice corset box! You pulled off some serious curves on those sides! (Rather like @rbtdanforth’s cylinders.)
Wow, your Quixotic quest is paying off!
I love both your use of the SM tools in Fusion 360 and your use of jigs in assembly.
Like so many things posted here, I don’t have a use for a corset box, but the technics you have shared will stick in the back of my head and be used at some point.
Thanx
That is really cool! My first Glowforge project was to do something like that only round. It did not work out near as well I had visions of a box with a colonnade around the outside. Kinda like a Greek temple.
Whoa! Nice work, baby bro!
Wow. Love this. Great curves
Amazing! Kinda looks like an architectural piece on the side of a building to me.
I wonder if one could make living hinges right on the tabs, to make them match the curves and slants better? Probably not, or at least not without plenty of glue.
This is a terrific piece and write up. May be showing my age but looks like Mae West box to me.
With a fine-cut hinge like I used, it might work…
Do it! Do it!
A quick Google search for Mae West box (or corset box, mentioned earlier) was unproductive… Though it’s a stretch to call mine a box when it has no top or bottom in this iteration!
Mae West was an old time movie star - silent to talkies) and the nick name for a life jacket.
Major kudos! Love your experiment! I get very excited with Fusion possibilities, have zero time to get where I’d like to be.
You could try making various shapes, instead of four sides, try 6 or eight, or an odd number. The more sides you have, the more round it becomes, until you have a column. Experiment with different materials like acrylic and now you have the potential for colored lamps.
Did fusion 360 come up with the stagger logirythem?
There is also the possibility of soaking or steam bending like so
Though I was not able to get more complex than cylinders
I watched it SEVERAL times before attempting this.
After posting this I ran across a previous exploration of this theme that was quite extensive. Maybe I can find it again, it was impressive.
Do you mean the hinge cuts? I added those in inkscape.
Aha!
I have held the Bendbox in my hands. I couldn’t stop stroking its curves – it is SOOOOOOO sexy! (And I mean that in the most G-rated way possible; I just can’t think of a better word for how it DEMANDS to be touched!)
