Egon, are the pieces of unassembled furniture in the basement recognizable as pieces of furniture to the untrained eye or does it require a woodworking furniture maker's imagination, i.e. raw lumber in a pile?
I have significant quantities of that latter status furniture. [img]/forums/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
I have an extensive list of projects that were envisioned at design time of the house that aren't started yet. Among these are: a convertible step stool chair that converts back and forth via tilting half of it on hinges, a blanket safe/bench to go at the foot of our bed, a laundry hamper/bench seat next to the shower entry in the master bath, a laundry hamper in the pantrility room (pantry-utility room) to go under the hinged lid portion of the counter top to use space in the corner otherwise not usable, decorative cover for the fluorescent fixtures over the pool table (currently bare tubes), decorative wood covers over the square tubing columns on either side of the foot of the basement stairs, built in drawers and shelves under the basement stairs to access understair storage (Harry Potter's bedroom?) from the finished part of the basement not the equipment spaces, and on and on and on...
I get tired just thinking about it.
Boy how I wish we were a lot closer together. I'd love to swap some help back and forth and have a higher level craftsman in my shop once in a while so I could learn something. I'm not that good and mostly apply brute force and awkwardness and have to constantly figure out things from first principles since I have never had any training or a mentor.
Thanks for posting the progress pix, at least one of is is getting something done.
Pat
