Paper Shade Lamp PrototypingMarch 3rd, 2010I’ve been prototyping a pretty simple lamp using a piece of paper as the shade. A little fine tuning is still needed to get the dimensions right, but I’m liking where it’s going. I’ll probably group three or four of these lamps together with shades made from letter size (8.5″ x 11″) and legal size (8.5″ x 14″) paper. Maybe go the kit route, I make the lamp base, you build the shade. More to come. Please Hammer don’t Hurt HimMarch 3rd, 2010Hammer TimeFebruary 22nd, 2010I’ve been making wooden mallets lately. Mostly out of oak, mostly for food preparation (meat tenderizing, etc). I just like making them. Maybe designer mallets will be the new designer axes (I have no idea why, but I just want one of those axes real bad). Get Yourself a Branding IronFebruary 17th, 2010My sisters got me a branding iron for Christmas. They had to order it special, and it took some time to get here. But it just came in the mail the other day. This thing is so choice, if you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up. A Tree Turns in BrooklynFebruary 16th, 2010I recently joined the Gowanus Studio Space. Finally a place I can make a big ol’ mess. Get the flash player here: http://www.adobe.com/flashplayer
There are so many great people/designers/artists/tools at this place. And they have a lathe. Although, it kind of feels like I’m cheating on my wife with my new girlfriend. Blue BirdsFebruary 8th, 2010Stained Glass MarblesJanuary 31st, 2010Proof of concept to see if traditional stained glass window techniques can be applied to marbles. The plan is to use marbles of various size to create a shade or globe for a lamp. yes, another attempt at a lampshade. Monster MirrorsJanuary 31st, 2010Turned ToysJanuary 15th, 2010Came across these two great turned toys (thank you minor details). I love how simple they are and yet are pretty expressive. All of the artists are from Argentina, must be something great in the water there. I might have to rip these off. el Ramon (scroll down) by Javier López Pereyra. |
