Hey guys,
I posted here a while ago with my previous project, a lounge chair made from laminated plywood. The results can be seen here:

You guys were a huge help and I enjoyed having your feedback.
This project is a little different, an entrepreneurial effort that is more a design project than a craft project.
You guys may be familiar with the site Ponoko (http://www.ponoko.com). It's a service that has material in stock, and uses CNC machines and Laser Cutters to create 2 dimensional parts that they ship. My goal is to utilize this site to create a small line of furniture that can be bought and sold online, and shipped direct.
I came across a method of perforating materials to create flex points, with the intention of bringing curves to flat pack furniture. My first experiment was using baltic birch plywood and pattern to create curves, and it works really great!
This is just the beginning though, I'll keep updating this with pictures.
