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

The competitive spirit thrives and the water flies.
