Approaches

Ken Isaacs says about the work table (or 24” Module, as he called it): “the best way I know to get into Living Structures is to make a 24” cube. It’s a chance to perfect all the operations involved in larger Structures & the modules are really useful when you work with wood or metal at home. The units make good tables to mark & saw plywood & 2x2’s on. They are fine, stable tool stands for the little electric drill press. The 24” module is a good workbench for Josh. Henry & I use several as desks, typewriter tables & drawing board bases. You can bolt several modules together for larger work surfaces or small painting scaffolds.”
