Trapezoide becomes a Triangle becomes a cutting board

3D Triangles

Here is another design on the right, with many of the same characteristics in the tumbling block design. I call this design the tumbling triangle design although I am sure it has many names. Since many of the techniques are similar I will spare you a lot to the comontary and try to move through the project with more pictures and less chit chat.

Rather than a diamond here we are looking for the off angled, 4 sided shape above. Although we use the same angles as in the diamond here we assign the length of the enterior side of the shapes length to the same (exactly the same) as the cross cut of the shapes width after the miter cut has been made.

If done correctly the above traiangles can be glued in place with the help of rubber bands. Remember to clean off any excess glue from the exterior of the triangle so the next one will fit snugly along its side after the glue has dried.

Notice there are two rows. These rows may look the same but believe me they are not. To make the final product you will need equal amount of triangles both your first one and then its opposite. These are like gloves. They are identical except they are opposite or face one another. Experiment with your shapes and you will get it.
