Our church’s high school group needed some benches for their meeting area. I decided to copy Louis Lim’s ’round and round’ contemporary bench design, somewhat successfully.
I had trouble figuring out how to measure the “skin” that goes around the base of the triangle. I think I was trying to make a “truncated cylinder” but I couldn’t quite get the dimensions right. Ultimately trial and error prevailed.

UPDATE: One of our viewers Joseph Malovich figured out the math for us in Solidworks. ?Here is his design. ?Thanks Joseph!
Did not know you could get flexible plywood, that’s pretty cool. I guess your Geometry class came in handy.
Yea, it ended up being really flexible. So many future project ideas….
Awesome job. I have no clue on the math, but, can you tell us where you purchased the flexible plywood and it’s brand name. Thanks for the videos, my wife and I love your financial and travel videos.
Thanks! The plywood doesn’t have a “brand” that I’m aware of. But, I purchased it from a cabinet shop in town and they called it “bendy barrel” plywood.
Thanks
