Its Somewhat A Lounge Chair!

I reached way in the back to the freshman archive and found this! Man what was I thinking. I made this  hoping I could give my back a rest, but I didn't realize I would have to break a sweat and my back in the process to get there. Lesson learned. But I had fun and quite a challenge to get it to work properly. 

I call myself taking the easy way out by drilling some holes and stick poles through it to make a chair, piece of cake right? No way. Not if your silly enough to want it to lean back too. Not only in one but in TWO places. I conclude that my ambition juice was definitely flowing back then.

But anyway, my thought process at the time was to make a chair that I could take apart fairly easy, so I could ship it back home to show my family. I like to slouch in chairs a little for more comfort so I designed it with that in mind. Oh and I had to do it on a tight budget. and this was what resulted. ENJOY!

THE OTTOMAN!

I thought it would be good to kind of show some of my handy work projects I have worked on. Since this blog touches a little on how things are made. Well what about how ottomans are made. I'm no professional but  the little I do know about 3D and wood basics, somehow I was able to make my first ottoman! I think it came out pretty good.

It was done over winter break (2013). I would be more interesting if I would have thought to take more process photos at the time, but hey maybe next time. I made this for a good friend of mines, his wife really wanted to save and make one herself but didn't know how, so I chipped in.

I call it the Odmodomon
