My third design iteration is a half-size, scale model in clear acrylic. It is intended to be a coffee table mold for bamboo to grow through. This model proved to have good structural integrity, without needing cantilevering. Here are photos of the test assembly taped together, as well as my process of glueing sides together with Weld-On. I was so excited to to assemble it that I glued it together before I routed the bamboo shoots through it. This hindered my ability to properly insert my smaller bamboo (Fargesia Robusta) into it’s cavity. Lesson learned. Time to redesign the table to incorporate disassembly!
