09/CAT IN BAG ii TABLE
With a mere five parts that lock together with a friction fit,
the Cat in Bag ii table is an elemental piece of furniture that
requires no fasteners and only a half sheet of plywood. Such
simplicity makes it well suited for practicing fabrication fun-
damentals and perfecting your techniques for joinery fit. As
an advanced project, the Cat in Bag ii table serves as a blank
canvas and opportunity for exploring materials and finishes.
