Young people are delaying home ownership and living in much smaller spaces. Your designs are creative responses to that reality.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10394365117138074832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976499952885642848.post-7829956620984491932014-10-28T08:29:58.548-07:002014-10-28T08:29:58.548-07:00I'm glad that you could accommodate your son b...I'm glad that you could accommodate your son because it's just a fact of life these days - people, especially young people, move more often. Thinking about the restraints of modern life, I've started building things lighter, smaller and more portable than the furniture in my parents' home. A kitchen table for my daughter and son-in-law was built to a width to allow it to easily fit through a standard doorway. A 6 board box for a friend's granddaughter is just 16 inches high, so it can be used for seating when she has company in her small apartment. I gave my son-in-law a hammer when they moved into their first apartment - not a 20 ounce Estwing, because he won't be nailing 10d nails into oaken studs - I gave him a tack hammer that is perfect for putting hangers in sheet rock.<br /><br />I'm going to wager that you do a bang-up job with your two-part top and that nobody ever notices it except for you. And your son will thank you every time he has to move. neuse river sailorhttp://www.woodshop.neuseriversailors.comnoreply@blogger.com
