Modular Bamboo Cutting Tool

The project presents the innovative design of a table tool for the purpose of width and thickness sizing of Bamboo stripes. The bamboo cutting tool has been designed keeping in mind the rural craftsmen of North East India, whose livelihood involves the wide use of bamboo, as a construction material in ethnic furniture, handicrafts, products, artifacts, etc. The replacement of traditional bamboo tool in the context was based on the premise of physiological discomfort and difficulty in precision faced by these craftsmen during the bamboo cutting and crafting process.
