Busy.
Not quite too busy but enough to keep me off the blog for a bit.
With the recent arrival of sum­mer weather in Port­land the sched­ule is top-heavy with the Bun­galoft project. A free­stand­ing Struc­tural Insu­lated Panel addi­tion fol­lowed by removal of all but the bath­room walls in our orig­i­nal 1928 bun­ga­low and the con­nec­tion of the two with an angu­lar breeze­way will be the real­iza­tion of the Bun­galoft con­cept (at least as we envi­sion it). It’s a small but inter­est­ing archi­tec­tural project that should make it to the pages of the blog at some point.

In the mean­time work on the 5 inch pan cam­era blue­tooth con­troller project continues.

The 28th Avenue Wood­work­ing Stu­dios (as I have now unof­fi­cially chris­tened this build­ing I work in) has some very inter­est­ing inhab­i­tants includ­ing Jason Andrew Designs. Jason has been work­ing on a beau­ti­ful series of fur­ni­ture pieces since he arrived. Fol­low­ing numer­ous con­ver­sa­tions about our respec­tive work, we embarked upon a bit of col­lab­o­ra­tion on Jason’s most recent design — a twist­ing, black-stained, Ash cof­fee table. Jason asked me to make a set of alu­minum feet for the tapered legs of the table. We’re look­ing at a few other designs for alu­minum feet and pulls.

I’m be look­ing for­ward to the usual bar­rage of sum­mer activ­ity includ­ing one of my favorites — the Adult Soap­box Derby.

Start­ing line at the Adult Soap­box Derby in Port­land, Oregon
