    Making a workbench

    I don’t have a large space for a workshop yet and I need something which allows me to work on projects and also allow me the possibility to move it from place to place. I found inspiration in japanese atedai planing board. It’s simple and effective with plenty of possibilities.

    I wanted a couple of horses for the benchtop so it would be a literal sitting bench to work on. I’ve had this idea of working differently with my body in contrast to my fulltime job. So I drew it up, rendered it and got going. I chose beech, which is appropriate.

    I bought a couple of short dogs and clamping tools of fine-tools, which I’ll try out for a while. I’m not ready to invest to much in little workbench accessories before I try it out and figure out what I need. But I believe this will be a good start.

    The dimensions are thick. 1500x350x70. In beech that is heavy. Might be too heavy. I glued up a laminated board for stability and to get the dimensions. There are 8 pieces, 1500*43,8*70. Right now the outer two, nr1 and nr 8, are wider to I can make the final cut to match up the other ones.

    The voyage had begun, and had begun happily with a soft blue sky, and a calm sea.

    About the book

    This exquisite compilation showcases a diverse array of photographs that capture the essence of different eras and cultures, reflecting the unique styles and perspectives of each artist. Fleckenstein’s evocative imagery, Strand’s groundbreaking modernist approach, and Kōno’s meticulous documentation of Japanese life come together in a harmonious blend that celebrates the art of photography. Each image in “The Stories Book” is accompanied by insightful commentary, providing historical context and revealing the stories behind the photographs. This collection is not only a visual feast but also a tribute to the power of photography to preserve and narrate the multifaceted experiences of humanity.

    They followed her on to the deck. All the smoke and the houses had disappeared, and the ship was out in a wide space of sea very fresh and clear though pale in the early light. They had left London sitting on its mud. A very thin line of shadow tapered on the horizon, scarcely thick enough to stand the burden of Paris, which nevertheless rested upon it. They were free of roads, free of mankind, and the same exhilaration at their freedom ran through them all.

    The ship was making her way steadily through small waves which slapped her and then fizzled like effervescing water, leaving a little border of bubbles and foam on either side. The colourless October sky above was thinly clouded as if by the trail of wood-fire smoke, and the air was wonderfully salt and brisk. Indeed it was too cold to stand still. Mrs. Ambrose drew her arm within her husband’s, and as they moved off it could be seen from the way in which her sloping cheek turned up to his that she had something private to communicate.

    I started the first semester of my final year with designing and building quick mock-up versions of different ideas. Looking back I believe I had tendencies to over complicate personal work where form or using exciting techniques would beat function in decision making. With this project I wanted to make something beautiful and simple. Something where dimensions feels right and where materials don’t compete with eachother. It’s a challenge to know when to stop and push on a bit further. In some projects it a fast process but in this it would take up a large chunk of time, which meant plenty of time to second guess choices.

    Undoubtedly we have no questions to ask which are unanswerable. We must trust the perfection of the creation so far, as to believe that whatever curiosity the order of things has awakened in our minds, the order of things can satisfy. Every man’s condition is a solution in hieroglyphic to those inquiries he would put.
