    I've watched a bunch of your videos now. Beyond the re-imagining and repurposing you do of pieces, I am an absolute fan of how you never seem to let anything go to waste. Socks, old cushions, any random piece of wood or metal from an old project... you're always using things that other people would throw away. Its completely commendable. And your work is also beautiful.

    unbelievably wonderful work. The drawers look completely "real". As an old architect, I have seen hundreds of these old cabinets, this is the first one I have seen that was not orange from the shellac and varnish. None have legs, I guess because they get so heavy, that loaded with plans would be HEAVY. You never cut a corner in craftsmanship, but your design sense is impeccable as well. The tonal difference at the end was a heck of a nice touch.
    Thanks for doing things the RIGHT way.

      Most of these were made of metal very very early. Since the drawings are legal documents, they worried about fire. Frank Lloyd Wright although innovative, made allot of stupid mistakes. He was sued many times, these drawings and specs were center stage in court.

      One reason for later problems is that he experimented with new building materials. Falling Water is a prime example of the early use of concrete and its subsequent problems. It’s not held up well.

    • @rockshot100
      @rockshot100 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @@melindaostergren8115 That is the one in PA, I think. Wright evidently had engineers and other architects screaming and warning him of the dangers. Falling Waters is a basic fiasco, but Wright was too busy making a name for himself and entirely too egotistical. He did implement new concepts that others would later employ in more practical ways. He was part of a general trend in those days, so hard to tell if he was just stealing ideas from others.

      I used to browse catalogs with the thin drawers for oversized drawings or printouts. The components were modular. The base was a separate unit the drawers could be bought as one or two units and stacked. A separate top could be added. Have seen them sometimes used as a twin/single bed base in an office which could be a guest room. For that setup two bases, two drawer units and a cut plywood top worked.

    When I finished an unfinished dining room table with 6 chairs years ago, I would sand in-between coats of stain and sealer, and with my eyes closed and a piece of nylon stocking over my hand, I would feel the wood for any rough spots or burrs. The nylon would pick up the slightest imperfection in the smoothness. It came out glass smooth! ( I was 14-16 yrs old at the time!) My parents used the table and chairs for many years! You do beautiful and precise work very good attention to minor details, that makes all the difference between good work and great work! Blessings to you!
