Re: some sideboards

Very interesting and diverse collection! I'll ask the question that you're suggesting - when does a sideboard become something else, maybe, a dresser - like yours that are much lower to the ground, and have a large set of drawers (e.g. the cherry and burl veneer, the "circa 1990," and especially the Greene inspired piece - the latter 2 could definitely work as a dresser in a bedroom, say with a couple open shelves behind the opposing doors). Or your sideboard from 1987 that has a cutout that makes it look like a desk - suitable to sit down in front of to do some writing.

Thanks.

Re: Help me choose what to build for a video workshop

Wow, I guess I get to be the 1st to say - #2! I like the asymmetry, and the mix of open space with the door and drawers.

Re: Building wooden bikes

Very cool, and +1 on the renovobikes.com. I stumbled up that shop in Sausolito a couple weeks ago, and got to see them up close and talk w/ the owner/designer. THOSE are wooden bikes that compete at the highest levels of both road and mountain races - impressive!

Re: UPDATE: Book Giveaway: Wharton Esherick Studio & Collection

Thank you for the opportunity to win this book!

And, I hope this isn't out of line (editors squelch if needed), but anyone interested in Studio Furniture should check out the free, on-line history of two decades worth of furniture and craftsmen that passed through the doors of Pritam & Eames studio in NY. http://www.pritameames.com, goto their Archives, and you'll see it split up into two decades. A wealth of reading and photographs! (NOT for dial-up connections!)
