free plans: how to make an Impossible Stack Sculpture |
|
Basic Description |
This simple sculpture flaunts itself by apparently defying natural laws. A series of blocks are stacked in such a way that the topmost one extends beyond its supports. Viewers are convinced that the blocks are attached to each other, but closer inspection indicates that they are wholly independent The sculpture relies on some basic physical principles. Read on for a thorough description and several ideas. |
With pattern clearly marked on the wood, you can cut it with a bandsaw, scrollsaw or jigsaw. Cut outside the line because you can always remove some material but you will not be able to bring it back. Once the piece is cut, using a disc sander and a spindle sander or sanding drum attachment for your drill press to bring the piece down to the final desired dimension. If you selected a shape that doesn't have any inside radiuses this step may be omitted. |
