a few more favorites

in my previous post i promised 'a few more favorites'
and here are 'a few more' ... with almost 1000 posts to choose from, 
it gets a little tricky ...
click the pictures to enlarge them ...

the blog post for the link above is mostly highlight 
general thoughts on architectural and interior design, and
comments on the furniture design/make process ...
 
this is an excerpt from an article by ashley ericsmoen,
an australian based furniture designer/maker and professor of design ... 

i have been drawing for pleasure since i bought the book
back when i had to learn how to present my ideas to 
potential customers back in the late 70s. sadly, i made it
through high school and college without ever having an art course.
there are two relevant posts at the link above and both are 
discussions of the creative process

and two articles recently in the new york times and the new yorker
on ideas and creativity
new york times   temple grandin .. visual thinking
 new yorker  'how should we think about thinking?'

 
some cnc work ... 1997, using a cnc at a friend's shop
all 'handwork', no cnc ... 1993?

a cnc router is 'just a tool' that lets us
do things no one would likely pay us to do without it.
                                     
these stairs went to california, along with about 15 lineal 
feet of railings for the second floor
the photos the client sent that we used for the concept drawings;
the builder provided onsite measurements to create the shop drawings.
the original tansu stairs,  a local project we did in 1989 ... 


pretty much anything you want on them ...

and in case you missed it back in july, 
there's my 'old man project', still a work in progress ...
there are 6 posts there that i still add to from time to time .. 
story of my 51.5 years of life in vermont, and a little bit
from before i stepped off the bus in arlington to visit my sister.
i had $6. in my pocket, and everything i owned in one hand.

all for now ...
