Nick Sawyer
Milwaukie, Ore.

The inspiration for Nick’s workbench was a blend of the Roubo workbench and the catenary forms of local bridges. According to plus.maths.org, “When you suspend a chain from two hooks and let it hang naturally under its own weight, the curve it describes is called a catenary. Any hanging chain will naturally find this equilibrium shape, in which the forces of tension (coming from the hooks holding the chain up) and the force of gravity pulling downwards exactly balance.” An inverted catenary is an arch, and an arch is incredibly stable in furniture and architecture.
