I think very deeply

I make so much stuff...you have know idea. If I live to be 500 I won't have enough time to bust out all of my ideas. It's frustrating. In the meantime, I'll keep knocking out the simple ones.
Like this bench.

Made from salvaged redwood, and some standard 16"x16" CMU pilaster blocks.
Pretty comfy, plus plants. And what could be greener than a plant? Dave maybe.

I've eaten a lot of Santa Cruz burritos here.

Skylight

Here's a recent project.
Starting with the before photos of a tradition T-Bar fluorescent light set up.
...and the opening without the lenses...
But what can I do? Well, here's a little mock-up.

And the real thing, in progress. Complicated angles.
Cutting the lenses from The Fluorescent Gallery...
A lens test fit.

Then finish

Then install
The center is a skylight, and the surrounding lenses house the fluorescent lights.
