Happy to Tweet the birth of our daughter Kimberly Anh; posted a few photos at flickr.com/photos/johnpat…
Looks like a good way to generate shapes with child friendly corners... procato.com/superformula/?…
Reading about superellipse @ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superelli… after a conversation about table design the other week. Generator @ procato.com/superellipse/
Former for the laminated crest rail is underway and should have that done over the next week; will blog some progress photos this week.
Finally made a start on weaving the seat for Chair 2.0 this afternoon; looks good so far but adding a staple/nail gun to my shopping list...
I've just posted a couple more build photos of Chair 2.0 on the blog at http://www.johnpatricktobin.com/
Made a test piece for the small table with a mitre lock router bit and digital height gauge today and quite pleased with the results so far.
The chair frame glue-up is complete and ready for sanding and a coat of oil before bringing home to build the finish over the next few days.
Design of the little table is coming along; card model looks good; planning some test joints tomorrow to try out the mitre lock router bit.
Edges rounded-over, components sanded to 240 grit and front & rear frame glue-ups completed since last tweet; final frame glue-up tomorrow.
Chair rail edges rounded over and started sanding, sanding, sanding... Rounding over leg edges today and should be ready for a glue-up :-)
Paper cord material for Chair 2.0 seat arrived this afternoon and is a really good match for the oak but glue-up and finishing come first!
Working on a small table design; simple modern shape inspired by ancient China; I'm thinking veneer over baltic birch ply for this one.
Just posted a couple of build photos of Chair 2.0 on the blog at http://www.johnpatricktobin.com/
Got list of work to do on the blog: cleared a few items since last tweet but mostly minor formating fixes at http://www.johnpatricktobin.com
Once the home page is done I'll look at the gallery pages, and there's work needed on the static pages to completely remove the sidebar.
I'm looking for a scrolling photo widget to sit underneath the blog title above the posts (I'm using on Blogger); any suggestions out there?
The blog now has a proper URL, I'm in the process of adding a few extra pages but still work to be done http://www.johnpatricktobin.com
I've been working on the blog. Still a work in progress but will fill in the blanks as soon as possible http://www.johnpatricktobin.com/
Taken some space in a workshop and made a start on a new chair in white oak with a rush seat; chair 2.0 perhaps?
