Making the Squiggle Bench

This bench is an experiment more than anything. I came up with an idea and wanted to see if I could make it, which is a bit of a departure for most of my projects. The bench is made of solid walnut and ash. It's dimensions are 40" long, 20" tall, and 12.5" deep. Surprisingly it is not uncomfortable to sit on.
I didn't glue the base to the squiggle because I want to revisit a better base design in the future. One thing I realized would save a lot of time is starting from the middle and working my way out; this would let me attach two pieces at a time and really cut down on the time waiting for glue to dry.
I think this method for creating unorthodox shapes is pretty interesting. This shape in particular could make a nice coffee table by adding a piece of glass on the top.
If you have any questions, please feel free to leave them in the comments. I will do my best to answer them. Thanks for watching!

I thought I was going to hate the "Jenga" look, but I actually like it all together. For whatever reason, it reminds me of my childhood. Every toy bin I ever had always had some type of block mixed in with it...even the lego bin had the stray wooden block. I think the two opposing shapes and colors together make the piece more fun. It feels slightly off, but it feels satisfying at the same time. Nice work!

I think if I was to try and recreate this bench, I would makes the curves less tight in order to get a sander into the troughs. However I think that comfort would be the payoff for ease of build. I glad it was you that built this. Nice job.
@parillaworks
@parillaworks 6 лет назад
I agree. While designing it I wanted to fit as many curves as possible. I didn’t foresee having to do as much sanding to even out mistakes.

There are no rules in art and this is a piece of art. The seat has been well made and carefully planned, and the leg fits perfectly and looks great,I agree it would suit a museum and the plexiglass would also look great too. WELL DONE

parillaworks I had a similar problem sanding in a small area like that... I solved it by cutting a thin strip of sand paper, and using spray adhesive on a dowel then chucking it up in a drill. If it's a long space like that use a square of wood with an oversize hole (much larger than the dowel) to put downward pressure on the other end. It will get hot so use a bit of wax in it. It did the trick for me though.

It’s a beautiful ribbon bench. It will be amazing as a desk as well, with a glass top laid across the top of the waves, at desk height and perhaps triple the width, with perhaps the floating end or the back side attached to a wall to really secure the illusion of floating. You’re an amazing artist! Thank you so much for sharing!

3 thumbs up 👍🏾 👍🏾 👍🏾. The base you chose was 100% perfect. With something as intricate as the squiggle something straight, or normal would come off as a cop out. However anything too intricate would compete. The blocks have their own interest without taking from the squiggle. It also looks strong since the squiggle looks delicate. So it makes the whole thing visually sturdy. Only other option would be a clear acrylic base where it gives the illusion the squiggle was standing on its own.

@@parillaworks no thank you. You put a ton of effort in to that top. Not saying the bottom never, but it has a good contrast of modern and rustic. That just works. Tho since I posted I seen the reply about attaching it to a wall and having it float. Which would look great. Having kids, I know mine would eventually break it though!

Love the Squiggle Bench! What hit me that would make the perfect leg is a spiral. It would continue the wavy thought idea, but in a vertical fashion. Half the width of the bench with about the same twists per foot to keep the continuity to the piece.

That is a very unique project, I like the fact that you gave it a shot. With the blocks and the squiggle, it kind of a looks like it would go well in a kids room, in a good way. As for the sanding the valleys, you could take a dowel that is longer than the bench is deep, chuck it up in a drill and cover it in sandpaper. Using a block with a hole in it to stabilize the other end would give you a nice long drum sander. You could also use a long piece of threaded bar with a bearing and a couple nuts to hold it in place, that would give you a place to hold that end and a little more stability over that length. You could even leave the ends of the sandpaper unnattached, cut it into strips and make a really long flap sander. Just a couple of ideas to help with that tricky sanding.

Awesome piece of work, well done! I like the blocks for the leg. They contrast well against the orderliness of the squiggle without drawing attention from it. A different option might be a group of upright squiggles that spread out kind of like the blocks do, but with some ends sticking out organically. Very cool piece.

The glass leg that some ppl have mentioned is an interesting idea, or the hidden attachment to the wall I think is my favorite. How about the hidden attachment and then a false support. A support that would obviously never work and make ppl apprehensive about sitting on it. Then you walk up, sit on it and, ‘tadaaa’ it works!!

@neoyum9699
@neoyum9699 6 лет назад
The blind attachment would be great... Also, I have an odd idea. Remove the leg, & instead use two lengths of either rope or metal chain to suspend that end from the ceiling... It may be tricky to find just the right rope/chain to complement the squiggle, but it should be possible! 🤔🙂
@neoyum9699

Unsure if anyone has suggested this, but instead of hand sanding those tight curves, I would have taken a long dowel that would have fit that radius, and then cut a sanding belt so I have a long strip, and then glue it around the dowel, stick that whole apparatus into a hand drill, and attack it with that. Love the work, looks beautiful.
