The other day I got a spontaneous tweet, asking if I was up for a bookshelf challenge. Jimmy, of Silverlake, CA had seen my pipe shelving and wanted to get in on some of that. He was in a bit of a time crunch and wanted to know if I could build him something in 26 hours. Doubtful but intrigued, I prodded for more information. Normally I would give a project like this more time, but Jimmy's needs were simple and after seeing pictures of the space and discussing the details, I accepted Jimmy's challenge. 25-1/2 hours later... Jimmy got his bookshelf.
A utilitarian design using plumbing pipe and poplar, we maximized Jimmy's shelf space and gave him a new industrial conversation piece for his home.
Jimmy is happy, his books are happy, and I'm happy to have been able to help. If you have a furniture challenge, get in touch with me; I just might be available for a spontaneous house call.

what did you do with the other 24hrs?
ReplyDeleteeat, dance, sleep, eat, homedepot, then built the shelf in the last few.
ReplyDeleteIt looks a little bit like steampunk furniture and i bet you didn't think about that when you 'designed' this. I bet it's pretty sturdy and practical though.
ReplyDeleteHey within a very short time you made a beautiful bookshelf and I really appreciate your challenging work. I am also looking for someone who can work for my company. Mine is an online white furniture store. Anyway, I just like your work and waiting to hear from you.
