Abstract
My research seeks to capture the tactile satisfaction of solving physical puzzles with the excitement of exploring new technologies by reimagining traditional carpentry techniques in a digital context. As is common with modern techniques, the possibilities are endless but I present a few scratches at the surface in the form of puzzle-like joint examples to learn the physical systems combined with demonstrative animations to give the viewer a glimpse of how the small object they are playing with could be applied in different contexts.
