Using a torsion box, you can make high-quality veneered furniture, curved panels, benches, shelves, and more, writes Ian J. Kirby, without a lot of weight yet ensuring strength and stability. He talks about more of the torsion box’s virtues, and he explains how to make a sample panel, how to join the core grid, how to handle surfaces and edges, joinery, wall mounting, and curved panels. Photos and illustrations leave little doubt in this course in torsion-box construction.
