setting up in contemporary eco furniture design: Changing the structure of my table...
http://ekoeco.blogspot.com/2011/03/changing-structure-of-my-table.html
Setting up in contemporary eco furniture design. Clouds over Cae Du. Tuesday, 22 March 2011. Changing the structure of my table. Have made a metal ring as a supporting structure for the table top, out of stainless steel! Because it was an off-cut and steel will react with oak, however as this will go underneath this wasn't a main reason for choosing it. And it's soooo hard! Don't want to use stainless again in a hurry! And still need to drill it, lol! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Setting up in contemporary eco furniture design. Clouds over Cae Du. Monday, 21 March 2011. Hi, had some time out from blogging and from doing much in my furniture making. Other stuff in my life has taken my attention. The edges aren't sharp square as they have a slight bevel which helps :). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). There was an error in this gadget.

setting up in contemporary eco furniture design: But have been a bit busy...renovating an old table of mine.
http://ekoeco.blogspot.com/2010/11/but-have-been-bit-busyrenovating-old.html
Setting up in contemporary eco furniture design. Clouds over Cae Du. Wednesday, 24 November 2010. But have been a bit busy.renovating an old table of mine. This is a piece I made in the final year of my degree. It's got badly stained, being originally finished in shellac sealer and natural bees wax; wet tins have left black rings on the oak, plus hot mugs, marker pen and deep scratches, shame.

setting up in contemporary eco furniture design: A Place To Work.
http://ekoeco.blogspot.com/2010/09/shed-to-be-workshop-shed-is-ivy-covered.html
Setting up in contemporary eco furniture design. Clouds over Cae Du. Tuesday, 28 September 2010. A Place To Work. We moved to a new house recently, with useful though dilapidated sheds. Ivy had completely swamped the largest shed, concealing windows and up inside too. A day and a half of hard work and I got rid of most of it. The roof was rotten and too low so had it raised and replaced. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). There was an error in this gadget. A Place To Work. Shropshire, United Kingdom.

setting up in contemporary eco furniture design: Why 'eco'?
http://ekoeco.blogspot.com/2010/10/why-eco.html
Setting up in contemporary eco furniture design. Clouds over Cae Du. Saturday, 9 October 2010. Why do I want to make furniture that is classed as ' eco. Sustainable', 'environmentally conscientious. Think of any product, how it is made, what it is used for, and what happens to it at the end of its life? Think of the energy and fuel that went into each stage of its production, from raw material to deconstruction or decompostition. In other words its embodied. I use reclaimed wood, metal and other material...

Setting up in contemporary eco furniture design. Clouds over Cae Du. Sunday, 17 October 2010. Got in the workshop today, YES!
