    Copper signage on  a Swiss chalet. Letters 30 cms high on a weathered oak background.

Dear David

At last some photos of the sign you made for us. We are really pleased with the sign and as you can see finishes off our chalet perfectly

    bookspaperscissors asks: Hi David,
    Just wondering if you saw this post: http://bookspaperscissors.tumblr.com/post/322011506/116bpm-squaredoor-cable-drum-dining-table , which came from the blog of Rupert Blanchard, the repurposed furniture designer (http://stylingandsalvage.blogspot.com). Just thought you might be interested, if you haven't already seen it. The big reel tables would be great for cafes?
    Cheers, Clare


    Answer:

    Hello Clare, thank you for the message, i did see that one. I have fitted out cafes etc in the past, now supplying the Wombat chain of shops with a set of nesting tables for merchandise display, when i get some decent pics i will post. Commission on sales if you can find clients ?

    Regards
    David

    Reel rockers in the best setting i have seen in a Cambridge garden, bamboo in pots. Note the 3 legged table will not rock.

    The oak is weathering, the copper is patinating, isn’t nature wonderful ?

    The New Yorker on Designing a Stove to Save Millions

    age-of-ecology:

    Clean stoves have attracted the attention of the EPA, World Health Organization, United Nations, and Oakridge National Laboratory, all of whom have taken an interest in cheap, hi-tech stoves and their potential to save lives and stabilize the climate.

    Some historical background, a pic from 2007 showing one set of  a large order from Canvaschic, perched above the Ardeche River gorge in Southern France  who utilise yurts amongst a wooded camp setting. The chairs have 2 height settings, both table and chairs for delivery mail order, self assembly with spanner.
