Triangles #1

I recently joined Techshop, an awesome community workshop in SF, and having access to fabrication equipment again has led me to pick up an old project that I abandoned a few years ago. It was a fruit/coin bowl assembled out of 3 aluminum triangles (I'll post some photos of the original soon). I'm not sure why I gave up on it, but it probably had to do with the difficulty and expense of working with outside fabricators. Having access to all the tools myself has brought some fun back to this process. I started out trying out some shapes on a laser cutter:

The bowl requires 3 triangles that fit together very precisely. They are almost 30/60/90 but not quite... using laser cut chipboard is allowing me to try out a lot of different shapes quickly. I also experimented laser cutting a bunch of different fabrics with varying degrees of success. Exciting!
