Cubic trefoil

[mklotz]

My den (known to my family as the Den of Antiquity) has very little display space left so I decided to make a miniature trefoil with mitered joints. My stock is 1/4" and the whole structure would fit in a 1.5" cube.

I started out using wood glue because, despite my distaste for the brown stuff, has worked well in the past for me. But constructing jigs to hold everything in place for the long time it takes for the glue to dry thoroughly so it can be built upon exhausted my patience. I switched to super glue and just held the pieces until the glue dried. If anyone wants to attempt one of these, super glue is the way to go.
