projects is building a
buck. A buck is a pattern,
or form, that captures all
of the key dimensions,
contours, and details of
an object in 3D space.

use sheetmetal angles to
model large, complicated
shapes with surprising
accuracy, and get insight
into working through the
challenges presented
by each element of the
buck.
