A wooden ladder

A simple wooden ladder with dovetail joints...

You can download the model here.

Sorry Cotty, from a real world technical viewpoint this will not work, you have opposing grain direction. The natural movement of the timber will break this quite quickly.

Thanks for the info, now I'm happy that it wasn't designed to be build

Well that raises an interesting question. Design is design whether 'real' or not.
To make an analogy with writing, if a work of fiction purports to be fact, does that make it fraud? Or say Architecture, if you design a building which is inherently unsound, is that ok?
Or am I being pedantic?

@ baz :
...not necessarily pedantic - but very philosophical in any case

Hi Cotty,
I tried to achieve the same or at least a similar warm wood-look - as you always get it to the point. I had a long tinkering with the lighting until it worked.
Very good is your trick to hover the model a little above the ground, so that the model does not look like glued there. Thanks for sharing!
