Just a quick 'behind the scenes' look at cutting the wood strips for the geometric sculpture.

It all just starts with 1" shelving (which is actually 3/4" thick) that I saw & crosscut down to the desired piece count. Nothing really pre-bought about it, no pre made strips etc because they would cost way more than just cutting them myself.

Along the back side of the saw fence is a dial indicator used in machining. I can set the fence within a few thousanths of an inch to hold pretty good accuracy, although wood being softer than plexiglas (my usualy medium) it doesnt hold all that perfect, but certianly pretty close.

yah thats the big thing, having a dedicated space rather than just a pile of boxes with a saw in there somewhere. I have about 1,000 sq ft here, the messy shop there, and an addition on the back of the house thats my art studio with lots of windows & light
