If I manage ...I really like all your abbreviations. If I manage to participate in the SSBO, I think my build will be rather traditional, even though I sometimes dream of making an interesting joint venture of e.g. a wood seat and wood legs, but with brass truss stiffeners.<br />I am looking forward to seeing your design.<br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1539341786559704716.post-64274553825791144002014-01-09T07:46:30.114-08:002014-01-09T07:46:30.114-08:00Chris,
I should clarify... For those sort of piece...Chris,<br />I should clarify... For those sort of pieces (tables benches etc.) there is/was a good chance that a guy as big or bigger than me (future me) might be tempted to sit/stand on them as a slapdash way to change a light bulb etc., I grew up as a scrawny kid climbing trees and on stuff; if I broke something once it was in the house, I might be faced with the sad reality that I'm not a kid anymore.<br />Also I have a healthy respect for what can happen in a failure. Before I was born, my dad (not a small guy) had a kitchen chair fail (changing a light bulb) and severed his femoral artery with long-term repercussions, I don't know what load the designer of that no doubt cheap chair considered, But I try to think of how pieces might be used, outside of their primary function.<br />I hope my design documents don't over-promise/under-deliver on my #SSBO piece, public humiliation isn't usually my thing....Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17028867150859768771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1539341786559704716.post-42005280438906127042014-01-09T07:24:01.155-08:002014-01-09T07:24:01.155-08:00Jamie,
Thanks for the kind comment. I'm sure ...Jamie, <br />Thanks for the kind comment. I'm sure your design will be fine. I am "into it" only because it's related to my day job, so it's gotten hardwired into my brain and goes on in the back of my mind for most projects, even if I try to shut it out. This is helpful, but I often find I enjoy woodworking more when without ignoring principles, I don't get hung up in "analysis paralysis" mode. This project is the first one I've started a CAD model of in a long time, mostly so I could share something here. I wanted to write this series of articles: <br />1. To build some additional excitement about the #SSBO which I think is a neat idea.<br />2. To show a window into how my mind works (so people can understand my own particular brand of weirdness)<br />3. To start documenting something I have noticed (after working with heavy equipment machine design variation for a decade) in many great woodworking pieces. Namely that they have evolved/survived as great examples of well constrained designs, with many hidden lessons on the topic. If I can learn to write effectively on the topic, this is something I have to contribute to the community.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17028867150859768771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1539341786559704716.post-17562041543235857162014-01-09T00:20:09.664-08:002014-01-09T00:20:09.664-08:00Jeremy,

I found some of this useful, If only to back up my design..or maybe I don't get it.. and when you guys see what I have in mind you might shout Nooo..just wrong.<br />But the #SSBO piece is for pushing some of my techniques and ideas too, bringing them together in one piece of furniture just gives me the opportunity to try them out..<br /><br />Keep up the good work.<br /><br />All the best JamieJamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13556735351649141287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1539341786559704716.post-34422321136667371492014-01-08T23:47:04.080-08:002014-01-08T23:47:04.080-08:00Jeremy,

I'm eager to see what you create.<br /><br />ChrisChrisHasFlairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01789176232191404489noreply@blogger.com
