I've been rethinking my "nimphius box," as I had to wet and iron the pieces of mahogany to get them to take an adequate bend, and it is becoming a head-scratcher. This afternoon folks came by from Thomas Lie-Nielsen Tool Works, looking for photo props to display a tiny new bronze bodied plane. I gave the plane a test in my own hands, and they chose some of my boxes, and either I or my boxes may end up on their facebook page, along with a link to the blog. Lie-Nielsen is just down the street from CFC and I plan to visit there next week after Thomas returns from England.Tomorrow I plan to get up early and drive to Machiasport and visit a friend, Bill Coperthwaite. The boxes above and below are some that I've been doing as demonstration boxes for the class.
Make, fix and create...

Peter, I was reminded to visit Bill while in Maine by reading about your visit with Bill in your blog. While I've had the pleasure of knowing Bill for years throuh a mutual friend, this will be my first visit to his seven story yurt.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing you in Boston.
