Flying Table

The Japanese Kumiko geometry is well known for its repetitive patterns with fractalic behavior.

I have seen a few other constructions on the same idea - but all very difficult to be set in the “flying” position. A small tooling device greatly helps to keep everything in place until the string connections are made. Mount both sides in the tooling and add string links as in the schematic. Put just a light tension in each of these strings. Carefully remove the tooling when all the string connections are made - done!

I have used very thick Ø1mm nylon string and it is clearly visible in the closed-by pictures - but 0,3mm-0,4mm fishing string would improve the visual.
