Broken Arm

After breaking my arm, I was unable to fully participate in my sculpting class. Instead, I used my recovery time to design a simple plywood shelf inspired by my pinned-together arm. I first constructed the full shelf with two identical surfaces. I then weakened the left section in several places before smashing it with a sledgehammer (my arm was healed by this point). Finally, I used steel dowels, epoxy, and screws to repair the shelf's arm.

Process Bandsaw, table saw, orbital sander

Materials/Finish Varnished plywood, steel dowels, epoxy
