We've decided to share one of our other projects... We do on occasion make things outside computers.
The project here is a wooden necktie, designed for a fellow student.
The pattern on the surface was made first on paper using a regular pencil, then needled over to the wood, before then being drawn on the wood with a pencil along the needled paths. The final process of the pattern was branding it all in with a branding iron.
Following this, we cut the tie in two and drilled twelve holes in it, four for the neck straps, and the other eight for the articulated joint near the middle. While it is both easier and quicker to make wooden ties without any joints, they are then not very useful for sitting down with.
The process for designing such joints has been an ongoing thing over the past four years, and the design used here is the 6th generation.
