Specifications: 1. Function I am an engineer and a very practical person, so I want this project to serve a purpose. That…

This has been a very learning-intensive project for me. I am quite unfamiliar with woodworking in general and have never built a piece of furniture before. As such I asked a lot of questions of my roommate who is much more knowledgeable and experienced in these areas. This project turned out significantly better with his…

I have always liked the style as a practical person, and as an engineer and someone who worked as a mechanic in high school, the exposed structure and workings of these spaces are fascinating to me. The…
