This project

• This project is about how Stephen Francis and the
  table he made from using math.
• He said its all about using the right angles and
  Precise measurement.
• If you dont use it then your project will not
  close right or fit right and the project wont
  look right.

Some of the stuff he made

• Play house
• Tables
• Decks
• Cabinets

The table

• He first made this project because he want to
  make something with the eight pointed star.
• He used math to make the star. He used wooden
  diamonds that he made him self.
• The angles were very important.

• It took him 40 to 50 hours to make it all
