If you’re interested in getting started in furniture design, and you’re artistically challenged like me, then this is the episode for you. In episode seven, part one of a series of podcasts discussing design, I help you to define your likes and dislikes, and also build a reference library for inspiration. Oh, yeah, and I also somehow manage to bring iPODs, eight track tapes, and the musical abilities of a goat into the conversation.

Hey Dave, This was a great distraction this morning.
Another way of looking at beginning design is how one band covers another bands song and really makes it their own. I don’t care for ornamentation, but there have been several pieces where I really liked the overall feel. So, I’ll start sketching the piece without all the frills. A thicker line here, an added curve there, etc.
The ideas folder is one my wife and I have used for years. Anytime we are going to a “new” look (Sylvia likes to change it up), we pull out the folder and pour over all the ideas. It’s always a great starting point.
I believe that’s an interesting way to concieve it. I never considered thought I would see you say this after all your other blogs about Macs.
