New prototype……………..

Sunday, May 24th, 2009

This is the chair that was on my bench for two months……… still working on the final details.

I haven’t decided if I’m going to veneer the wood on this piece or if I’m going to leave it crude like it is. I kinda like it this way. It makes it obvious that it’s to be used. I think if it’s to nice it’ll be kinda like a new car that you’re afraid to put the first scratch on!

Thanks for stopping by!

Cheers,

Got a request………………….

….. to make a funky ass portfolio. Someone needed a wooden port case. I can do that. Wanted catches for the lid/flap. Wanted a handle. 

Here’s what he got.

The handle is some stainless steel rod and tubing.  The hinge in some old denim jeans material.

The wood is just some scrap pine and luan door skin. 

I put a masonite tray inside to help slide out the book that is going to be stored inside.

The catches are just  two pairs of magnets. 

 I hated to see it go. 

 

Cheers for now,

Paul 

Time for more hidden art…….

This is a base for a chair I’m trying to have finished by the end of the week

Been one of the few times lately that I’ve really felt that an internal part of the piece has a lot of potential on it’s own. 

That’s all.

 

Cheers,
