	<p><strong>The change in progress: towards a &#8220;new end&#8221;.</strong></p>


	<p>Sorry, I don´t know what the problem was, but here you have the video working. I  checked it. As I told you I had to do some modifications in order to  accomplish a &#8220;new&#8221; requirement of my client.</p>


	<p>The client decided to make a change: he need an access to the desk&#8217;s inside, when her products are exposed on the counter. After thinking about the possible solutions and having to keep the structural solidity, I decided that the easiest alternative was to cut the desk board. One of the questions was how to make the holes for the axes in such a small space. I found only one solution: to tear off the central piece for drilling, so that after glueing, the piece could looked like before manipulation. I used the central division element to reinforce the central piece, due to the new requirements for this element. A new end.</p>]]>

	<p>Although all my previous designing, my efforts to get the piece of furniture to the very best end I can, usually met lots of minor cuestions to be solved, before finishing the job to my complete satisfaction. And this is the reason why the work sticks to the bench towards the end. Actually I&#8217;m never 100% satisfy. That&#8217;s the price I pay for the personal discoverys that represent my designs. Others don&#8217;t find it that much important, but it is a personal matter. In fact, I don&#8217;t design for others: I design for me and try to convince the client about the convenience of my ideas. Sometimes it works, : ). I think, this isn&#8217;t a very recommendable philosophy for business.</p>]]>

      <title>CENTAUR counter, mostrador CENTAURO #1: A pending commission, un encargo pendiente.</title>
      <link>http://lumberjocks.com/xylosapiens/blog/10788</link>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[<p>Hello, everybody.  When I closed my workshop several weeks ago, I had some commissions pending. One was a client&#8217;s, the rest were the lot of things never done at home. A few days ago a friend of mine with a very big workshop admited me for a short time at his place. So I decided to carry on with some of the pending jobs.<br />So I&#8217;m now working on a small counter for the workshop of a therapeutist. This is the first time I post a project in progress. Here are some of the first handmade sketches for this project, the SU plans and some pictures of it stages. I think you will be able to follow the thinking path from the intention to the end solution.<br />After a first meeting at the clients place I imagine several posibilities .<br /><table><tr><td><a href="http://picasaweb.google.es/lh/photo/2GxqgeQ4orVdtGrjAj0edQ?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_5coVaJPCUog/SqRB91CbToI/AAAAAAAAHJY/UeeW449vTJg/s288/imgfamscan174.jpg" /></table>

Over the internet, I made a certain initial proposal. After some discussion about the principal guidelines, I prepared a first SU sketch serie.

      <title>Posting again after nearly six month; reaparici&#243;n despu&#233;s de casi seis meses.</title>

        <![CDATA[<p>After nearly six month without posting, today I&#8217;ve posted some projects. Pitifully it&#8217;s probably my swan&#8217;s cry: in a very few weeks I&#8217;ll have to close my workshop, because of the severe crisis we suffer. Here, in the Canary Island, 25% of the working population doesn´t have a job. If surviving was till last year&#8217;s end quite difficult, today it has become nearly impossible. I don´t actually know if I&#8217;ll post anything else from this moment. So to those of you how thought any of my projects deserved a commentary, thank you very, very much: it was very nice to meet you, your skills and your illusions. Keep on making sawdust for me! See you.<br /><em>Después de casi seis meses sin publicar, hoy he colgado algunos proyectos. Lamentablemente se trata de mi particular canto del cisne: en las próximas semanas tendré que cerrar las puertas de mi pequeño taller. Como saben esta crisis está afectando gravemente a nuestras Islas Canarias, de manera que si hasta finales del año pasado resultaba complicado sobrevivir, a día de hoy se ha convertido en una tarea practicamente imposible. No se si volveré a publicar ninguna otra cosa, así que les agradezco, a quienes han considerado alguno de mis trabajos digno de un comentario, que lo hayan hecho. Ha sido un placer tropezarme con ustedes, con sus habilidades y con sus ilusiones. ¡Adelante! Hasta pronto.</em></p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Yesterday death passed near by us and remembered each of us how fragile we are and how fragile our happiness is. By these recognition we get the opportunity both to appreciate what&#8217;s really valuable for us and to enjoy live and its simplicity: we are alive, we are sane and we are together.
