Re: Does Cardboard Have a Place in Fine Furniture?

Honeycomb panels are used extensively in aircraft. Super-light, super strong. They often use advanced composited as a skin.

In the finer private jets and some boats, it's covered with fancy veneers.

As for whether furniture is 'fine' - I would apply Dunhill's maxim as a criterion. (which was recently quoted in a video on this site re. the Bridge City Block Plane)

"It must be useful. It must work dependably. It must be beautiful. It must last. It must be the best of its kind." (Alfred Dunhill's Maxim 1907)

I think we need to draw our own personal conclusions whether furniture using honeycomb panels could qualify.

Hmmm, other than world peace ?

A radiant-floor heated, insulated shop ! More shop time ! A one-week class on hand-tool use ! A MiniMax Jointer-Planer ! An Oneida Cyclone dust collector ! A Karl Holtey 98 or 982 plane ! A Roubo-style workbench ! (A Gluebo would do :o) )

Re: Octogonal Table

I love the modular approach - to build things for many uses some of which may be discovered over time.

Merry Christmas to you !
