with my recent move to a new apartment i decided i’d rather have no furniture at all than crappy hand-me-down furniture. so, needless to say i’ve got a lot of boxes of books, cd’s, and records sitting in the living room. i need storage. but i can’t bring myself to even think about buying another damn piece of ikea particle/fiberboard, flimsy, disposable, crap-garbage-puke furniture. “i can’t, i won’t” – jerry.

so, i guess i’ll just have to build it.

and while some people, like my buddy nick (a fine conceptual design illustrator), are using fancy new computer programs* to sketch their designs – i enjoyed drawing these plans the old fashioned way.

when it’s done (ie, when i have the money to build it) this plywood and steel credenza will be the baddest piece of furniture i own. (next to this little number of course).

*i’d actually really love to try googles new free program sketchup, but i don’t think my wimpy little emac could handle running it.  guess i’ll wait til i get that shiny new 24″ imac i’ve been drooling over.  which means i’ll be doing quite a bit of waiting.  pff.
