Would be a fun little challenge for you!

Could start a whole 'nother line of anime emblems and icons!

I'd go traditional to start out with, from there you can branch out. Plus you can always just use color balance on Photoshop to get the perfect mix.

Part of my future nomadic furniture collection, a simple design.

Image

Legs slip into slots in the top, I'll probably have a screwed insert that will anchor them. Bed rail hardware to hold the back panel on in the knee hole. All told, 26.5 inches tall, 23.5 inches wide, 17.75 inches deep.

So here's another project - a portable crafting station.

Image

It's basically a case with two storage doors. With an eighth of an inch gap, the doors do not make contact with the other one.

Main case is 1x10 stock, so .75 x 9.25. Back panel is 3/8 ply, so at present the exterior is 23.75 inches wide, 18 inches tall, and 9.25 inches deep. Interior is 22.25 inches wide, 16.5 inches tall, and 8 7/8 inches deep.

Storage doors are made out of 1x4 stock, so .75 x 3.5. Once again, the back panel is 3/8 ply. Exteror is 11 13/16 wide, 18 inches tall, and 3.5 inches deep. Interior is 10 5/16 wide, 16.5 inches tall, and 3 1/8 inches deep.

Now to be sure that's what I need. I'm also going to add a flap so I can drop down a 3/8 work pad from the case section to protect the surface of the table it's on.

This is just an exercise to see if I could get it to work. Fitting out the interior should tell me what I will need.

You are really good at drawing up dimentions and stuff I wish I could do that.

Those are some complicated looking bunk beds! Must have taken a long time to do, lotta details. I love the effort you put into your projects, it definitely shows a passion.

The idea is under vacuum conditions they'd seal, giving the crew member a chance to call for help and don escape gear.

it's also a bit of privacy - pity it's so narrow, you can barely fit one.

So I'm redoing the wooden console from Dr. Who's 14th season. So far I've managed to build up the plinth and started on the console.
