Wood Working

I managed to complete my miniature chair. Unfortunately, this happened on the same week that my camera is out of town, so I finished the video using my sons old "Small Wonder" camera. Yeah, its a small wonder that it works at all. So...SORRY ABOUT THE VIDEO QUALITY!  The middle section is okay, because I shot that last weekend.

Once my camera gets home Ill post some good pictures of the project. Anyway, this was a really tricky undertaking and one that ate up my time over three weekends. Dealing with really small stuff is hard because there is not much room for error. So while I wouldnt recommend actually making this particular project, it was a good exercise to challenge myself and my tools.

Next week: bandsaw boxes. You cant screw them up!

all this talk of the glories of shaker furrniture has almost made a luddite out of me...

I recently watched a movie about Charles and Ray Eames on Netflix and wanted to share my thoughts!

Eames: The Architect and The Painter

In addition to discussing their iconic furniture, it goes into their influence on the design community and beyond, as well as the good and bad in their relationship.

A large part of the movie contains interviews with members of their studio, which gave an insiders look into what is behind the Eames name.

If you have Netflix, you may want to add it to your queue!
