LOL it looks like a loft gone bad between a sketch of a table and a small closet in a angle of 90 degree.

Noticeably absent from the Demarkesvan web site is what lies between the CAD and the 5 axis CNC router used to create the Cinderella table. That would be the CAM that is used to create the toolpaths to cut this thing. I'd be interested to know what kinds of roughing and finishing cutters were used and whether specialized cutters(form tools)needed to be designed. Also very helpful would be a detailed description of the process used to actually make the table including how it was fixtured and held. That information would be far more interesting to me than the actual Cinderella table itself is :)

I agree, what's more interesting is the machining aspect of this project and the fixturing/building of it.

yeah, I'd agree to that seeing how this was created at the shop level would be very interesting. I'll see what I can find. kinda crazy that two simple profiles like that could be used to create a structure like this.
