Two blogs focus on design
comments (2) January 21st, 2010 in blogsMany of us find it difficult to design furniture. But if you're like me, you'd much rather strike out on a new path than make reproductions. So I'm sketching away as much as possible, trying to refine my eye, my sense of proportion, and my own aesthetic. That's why I like two blogs I recently came across. I've known Jamon Schlimgen for a while (we met on Twitter). He's a furniture maker in New York state and has set quite a challenge for himself. He's going to post a new design every day for a year. You can see his progress at his blog, The Drawing Boards. If you'd like to post some of your own drawings, try another of his blogs, Furniture Design. It's a community blog in that anyone can post to it. That's a great idea, because one thing that most woodworkers lack is a group of collegues to share ideas with. I've already posted two of my own designs there and gotten some good questions.
