Brass butterflies are neat till some damn kid puts a cold drink on them ...

The brass butterfly switches in the night stands are liable to be activated accidently fumbling for things like glasses or dildos, but not terrible if it's just working a lamp.


Cellular, modular, interactivodular... well done but not my cup-o-tea.

I reckon this installation has similar appearances from varied perspectives around the group.

When glatt is done with the bandsaw the extra scrap wood could be a chair...

Gravdigr 09-18-2016 12:43 PM

Is that an eight bit chair?

glatt 09-19-2016 07:42 AM

I see something like that and only wonder how they made it. Not so much if it's beautiful. Upon further consideration, this is cool because it's different, but it's pretty ugly.

Big family reunion? Seat the whole family tree...

glatt 09-22-2016 07:35 AM

This, I like. A lot. It just looks natural outside. Something organic like this would look out of place to me inside, but out in the yard, it's fun. It's functional. It's interesting. It looks natural and right at home.

If I think about it, the only downside is that it's never gonna be moved. Keeping the grass looking good around it will be a chore. You'll get tufts of long grass around the legs, and weeds and bare dirt will appear underneath. Small price to pay, though, for the awesomeness.

Looks like a wall texture from Doom.

HM, I just finished reading a book called "Masters of Doom." You would enjoy it.

That goes over a toilet, I guess?

xoxoxoBruce 10-20-2016 12:19 AM

I don't think so, remember the toilets back then had the tank high on the wall. Looks like a fold down desk to me.

How?

Are there staggered lag bolts bolting each one to the one below and then the heads are covered by the tread above?

xoxoxoBruce 10-22-2016 07:07 PM

Or up from the bottom where they won't show?

Git my victuals on the table... chop, chop!

footfootfoot 10-22-2016 10:51 PM

I long for the days when all that happened when I banged into the coffee table was a bruised shin...

Side note: I just learned, after listening to a radio show about language, that victuals is actually pronounced vittles.

If this is your patio you better have two maids and a butler.

Clodfobble 10-24-2016 07:10 AM

Re: the wooden stairs, it looks like the bottom half is actually supported by stone stairs underneath. Then I bet the top half is secured horizontally by extending into the stone wall.

xoxoxoBruce 10-24-2016 08:19 AM

I agree.

glatt 10-24-2016 10:35 AM

I don't see mortar around the edges if those logs to hold them in the wall. I think they are not in the wall, but I agree that the wall provides support. I bet there is hidden hardware that goes into the edge of the logs.
