hey im a carpenter interested in quirky designs and i came across a piece today by Sebastian Errazuriz called the wave cabinet and im quiet amazed and would love to make it i get most of its design and could probably guess the rest but i want to know for sure how its done.

looks like furniture right out of riva 1920s shelf.

That is pretty neat.

behance has a lot of good stuff.

Looks like lots and lots of meticulously positioned mortise joints.

I think this is more complicated than just a hinge for every stick, I guess there is some kind of pin and larger hole connecting adjacent sticks so they move together.

Thanks for this anon, now I must build one.
you can see a rope running lengthwise on the "lid" in the 90 degree joint. and a rope in the end as well. the rope allows one section to bring it neighbor with it.
I've found myself watching several videos from a company (Pretty much just a guy) called Wolfe & Doucette. They're on youtube and he does handmade reproduction custom furniture. Lots of old style period pieces with beautiful wood, and the sweet sounds of hand planes running over cherry and maple table tops and pieces.
One of my favorites

That gif is a great idea but wouldn't work.
There's nothing to stop the hinge closing while someone's stood on it. One broken wrist and hip later.

Add two drop-down fixers either side the hinge.
Most fold-out ladders have them at the top.
>how its done.

um, gravity will? if you're exerting the force that will close the top, then any regular stepladder would also flip over?
OP here

Thanks i didnt see that before, but thinking about it im wondering how it would fare in the long run with how the lid stiles stay rigid because surely after a while of rubbing they would become loose and just collapse i was thinking some lightweight rigid wire would be better, unless anyone has any better ideas or sees any problems with this

yea i figured at the base for both upright stiles its a sort of loose half lap joint with a long ass dowel going through them all but you have have to get it fucking spot on for every one
