Offspring


I'm still working on the "Quartered Chair" - am now on no. 2. No. 1 was a little too big for Benny and I couldn't find 4'X4' 3/8" Baltic Birch plywood anywhere. This new chair is smaller and allows me to build 4 chairs out of 1, 5'X5' sheet!! That saves money and makes more sense in terms of the minimization of waste. The wood for each chair costs $11 and the bolts are in the $10 range; so $21/Chair - not bad. I am trying to have this ready for the Idaho Chair Affair in mid-April, we'll see - I have so much else to do that I don't get many opportunities to work on it.
In other news, i've been playing pick-up basketball games at the gym every night and on wednesdays I play intramural basketball and ultimate frisbee with the architecture student group. I played ultimate frisbee for the first time last wednesday and had all kinds of fun. I have never been able to get into running or biking as a means of workout - I have to play a sport of some sort to stay in shape.

I think your kiddos may be too big for the chair!! It's really benny size (and maybe even too small for him :( )

I may just send them along anyway for fun though.

When it is a success(and know it will be) we want the franchise rights for Europe.
