Laser Cut Periodic Table

Cubes? Yeah cubes. Each element is a six-sided cube that has information on five of the sides. I didn't know what I wanted on the sixth side so I left it blank when I made the table. I originally had a two dimensional table that I wasn't caring for, I had all these dice out of each wood type we had on hand, and I had an idea to make my periodic table use cubes and then the designing began.

The cubes were designed with one of those web based make a box programs with the outside dimensions of 0.85 of an inch. This was the smallest I could make it with strong enough tabs while also making it the largest I could make it to fit 18 columns of the cubes on the table.

The spacing of the table is critical as I had to fit 18 columns and 9 rows (7 plus 2) as well as all the descriptive text. The space between the squares is simple. I put the squares the cubes fit inside by side to each oth
