Your NSBA certificate in the background of one of the pics made me smile, and a bit home sick. :) Peace!

Funny you should say that…in the coming months you’ll be seeing some changes again around the ‘ol woodshop website…. plans becoming available. I’ll let everyone know when it gets close. Thanks for the comments.

Excellent work. This is a project that you should make “Plans Available” for. It is something that could become a family group with some chairs, perhaps a compatible series of side tables, coffee table and sofa table.

It’s great to see your craftsmanship, I really enjoy your articles. Keep up the great work!
Jim

a funny balance it is indeed. ‘irregular aesthetic’ I like the sound of that-
cheers

It was a good ‘vacation’ project and yes, I did use the fancy lamination techniques! lol-; )

Did you use your fancy ply-saw technique for the laminations?

It’s a funny balance between irregular aesthetic and “to make as perfectly as possible”. Seems like you’ve struck the right tone here.
Cheers,
Niels
