For our furniture, we first intended to create a simple shelving unit for the hiker's storage. We decided to locate this in the space for the sleeping and this allowed us to evolve the system into a mixed unit of shelving and beds. The idea created s type of waffle grid, which is usually connected with a simple half-lap. However, to make our system a little more modular and interesting, we have created almost a double-half-lap system where each shelving piece can be taken out/put together separately. At full scale, the pieces would be quite large, this idea lets us break some of them apart, but keep them structurally intact.
The model joint we created was scaled down for us to easily work with it. When it was cut, the final model did not turn out as planned. Two of the pieces seemed to have cut almost the whole way through where it should not have even cut at all. Thankfully, the tabs we left held the pieces together. Unfortunately, this made them fragile and left little room to drill for the bolts. But it was definitely a lesson learned.
