Re: Can Fine Woodworking and art furniture coexist?

I design my own furniture. When I begin it is with a concept. I take the concept and try to make working drawings from that. It is then that I confront the details of how it's going to get built. If a particular joinery can be added without changing the integrity of my design, great! I go with it.

What is particularly frustrating, however, is to decide on a style of joinery and to get to a stage in the project where that decision is seen as seriously flawed. One of two things happens then: (1) firewood; or (2) compromise. But it's the solving of these problems that makes woodworking interesting for me. Everything else is just technique.

BTW: I also do all my own designing. Take a gander at my projects at croquetman.photoshop.com
