This is an example of sketch work i did early on for the salvaged pine door in my projects list. After viewing the customers home and discussing the project i emailed him this sketch with four prospective designs. I’ve found that people like the warmth of a hand drawn presentation in a world now full of impersonal cad drawings that seem to lack any soul or humanity to them. I think it gives me an edge but i wont tell my cad drawing competition that!

Martin Sojka home \| projects \| blog 1891 posts in 2668 days #4 posted 2190 days ago	Hey miles, when you open your photo in the flickr there should be tiny icon ‘All Sizes’ just above the photo. Once clicked it will send you to the page where you can choose preferred size and the necessary code will be displayed just below the photo (the second box). Just copy and paste it and you’re done. Let me know if that helps. -- Martin, http://lumberjocks.com \| My Facebook: http://profile.to/msojka
