While teaching I would make samples of joinery I thought up to be a reference set to show my students. Many complex joint solutions never found a customer, although they were usually inspired by a challenging past project done by students. This is a tale of one sample and one student who appreciated seeing the sample. Summer shop classes often requested my help for CNC work that was beyond the capability or the instructor. One such day I was in the shop to help one student when I was asked by another (Abby D.) if I could show her how make a form for S shaped laminations. I asked to see her design drawings to get a better idea of what she needed. Her intent was to stack three S-shaped laminated curved to make a 3-legged end table. As my personal design process strives for simplicity I could see how a sample joint I made could greatly simplify her project. Simple curves rather than stacked S shapes joined in the center the formwork was simpler and the result almost identical to her design drawings. A single bolt through the center holds all 6 curve sections together. The cables at the top lock the geometry. I cut the joint end by clamping each curve over the end of the CNC. The sample I showed her and the final project:
