My kind of woodworking.....

Hey guys - just thought I'd show you a little bit of my style/taste. This is the type of stuff I want to be able to build when I can finally afford awesome tools, have a shop, and TIME to do some creative woodworking!! Enjoy - and maybe it'll give you some ideas of your own. (all pictures come from www.design-milk.com - which i am not affiliated with, or am I advertising….i just like the site)....

Wood + Screws = ART! You must see this!

Andrew Myers, the Artist

How does this type of sculpture differ from your usual work?
These pieces are definitely a departure from my normal artwork. For years I had been sculpting in bronze, doing figurative, narrative types of work. The screw art was born mostly because I was burnt out on the narrative work, but also because I'm always searching for a "better" sculpture. It has been hard for me to stick to one style of work as I always tend to find something more interesting. In fact, before I got the exposure on the screw art, I had considered taking a break from that to pursue something else.

What do you hope others will get out of these pieces?
When other people look at this work, I hope they can see the amount of thought and work that went into each piece. I feel I have used everything I've learned over the past decade, including sculpture, painting, construction etc, to create something that I had never seen before.

What's next?
Right now I am in a studio transition, so I haven't had much time to work on the art side of things. However, I have some great plans for the future, which include plenty of screws and large scale sculptures (hopefully public art).

Wow!! Some people has amazing creative minds. I wish I wasnt so screwed up by day to day life to be able to apply all my time to art like this. Dont get me wrong, its not like I have a screw loose or anything. But threading through daily life…. Aah no one is interested in my screwy life. I tend to spiral. Back to the topic…. Man did this guy hit the nail on the head or what??

Kidding aside. Bloody amazing!!!

Caterpiller Chair (ingenious)

Hyeonil Jeong created the Caterpillar Chair out of CNC-cut pieces of plywood woven together using bungee cord to form a flexible seat. Jeong says, "No matter how stiff each piece is, flexible relation makes an smooth flow. Its elastic connection allows an organic surface movement despite the rigidity of ply-wood material."

It is cool, then I thought about giving it a try. Just the "shade" and base would be 6 board feet at 10 inch diameter and 1/2" thicknesses. Decided I didn't need one that much.

This will blow your mind! Wooden 3d Gimbal Maze

The link is to youtube. For all you marble machine makers out there…..you need to see this.

Its not really a marble machine, but its probably the coolest thing I've ever seen.

Damn. There's raising the bar, and whatever that was. The bar has now cleared the stratosphere. Stuff like this is at once amazing, and yet, existentially despressing. Because I know that none of my creations will likely approach this level of genius.
