Okay, here’s my best shot. I tried to use “sketch up,” but I figured that, combined with tax time (I’m a CPA) the frustration was too much. I hand-drew my idea from a sketch I made during singing practice a few weeks ago, while listening to the Basses and Baritones (or, if you want an inside joke, the Third and Fourth Tenors) screw up their parts while the director tore out what little hair he has left. Of course, I did this while watching some weird Sherlock Holmes...

Posted as a blog entry, for the official contest.
For the Challenge04 I decided to design a Greene and Greene Bookcase.
The Greene brothers, Charles and Henry decided to create a new and fresh style different from the Arts and Craft designs that was becoming popular in that time. Some of their designs were influenced by some Asian furniture.
I opted then to build a Greene and Greene Style bookcase using breadboards and splines for the top but also creating a mid rail in the middl...

What an exciting opportunity to design a project with the potential to have it published! I’ve always been interested in getting my work published and exercising my writing skills at the same time. When this contest presented itself I vowed to make sure that I submitted an entry and am just making it in under the wire. I hope that everyone enjoys my submission and as always will appreciate the comments of the lumberjocks community.

My personal challenge is to create something for each of the LJ challenges. So far I’ve been able to meet that goal. This particular challenge was difficult 1) because I’m not much on designing and 2) I haven’t figured out that darned Sketchup yet… argh.
Goal: I wanted to design a place where I could sit and read and have ready access to books for researching. I also wanted it to be just desk level so I could tuck it under a window.
Design:
A central table top...

I learned about the LumberJocks/Popular Woodworking bookcase design challenge through The Wood Whisperer website just as I was finishing drawing this bookcase plan. It was designed to be the first library space for my best friend’s baby, who is expected in mid-June. For that project, I will likely use rosewood solids and black walnut sheet goods (for contrast and cost benefits). This design, however, is for walnut solids and hard/rock maple sheet goods. In terms of design, the bookcase is...

The Waterfall Bookcase
Let me start this off with not only is this my first challenge, but it is also my first blog entry so I hope I’m notbreaking any rules here.
This bookcase is only my third project and it has been a challenge.It’s been something like 5 years in the making and somewhat of a family joke (yeah, I’ll do it when Dad
finishes the bookcase…) but I have this bookcase that is almost ready for assembly and thought I’d present it in this challen...

This design is a takeoff of a night table design I did last year. The influence is the architecture of Bhutan. I graduated from the University of Texas at El Paso, one of only about three places in the world that share this type of architecture. Bhutanese temples are characterized by their inward sloping walls and graduated windows.Front View:
I used a combination of the golden ratio and Hambidge Progression to come up with the dimensions. The bookcase is open on both sides and can be plac...

I’m very new to Sketchup and I’ve had more trouble than most learning how to do anything useful with it. Just in the last two days I made major progress. I’ll probably do a separate forum or blog post to discuss my trials and tribulations with SketchUp.
For the project, I wanted something light and airy. I think this bookcase has the lightness I wanted yet sturdy. The weight of the bookcase rests on a base so that there is no weight on the curved ends of the side rail...

I got an E-mail a day or so ago metioning this challenge, so I thought I would give it a go. I tried the Sketch thingy but thought it would take far too much time to draw out my design, so I did it on paper.
I have made a few pieces in my shop, but I’m still learning how to make furniture. I could probably make this, but it would take me some time.
