Progress with Screen Printer...
Done with the base, now onto the more intricate parts
For some reason I want to paint the whole thing a Purple Digital Camo; plus its going to be outside and I need to protect the wood with paint

Idea for Furniture


I usually watch this TV show called "White Collar" on USA; basically its about this con artist that works for the FBI...its a new season that just started recently, and I remember from the previous season of this piece of furniture they had that had me pretty interested in building;

It would have some secret trigger; located underneath the table...the panel would lower...

...and the secret compartment would raise to hidden object.
Kept myslef busy...

Was really excited about creating my own app...went through the stages of design and what the app would look like. Got to a point where I thought would be a good spot to get more serious. Before I would begin that journey...I usually read up on a couple of books to get a feel of what to expect. Well I'm done reading...and there is much more than what I expected. It would be best if I knew anything about computer programming because that is a huge hurtle to overcome. Plus the fact that the app business is a new type of business structure that involves social media...where I only have used sparsely. This doesn't mean its not possible to create a app without total knowledge of programming but it would be a learning experience and hard work (like most things). So I'm going to hold off from any further advancements in creating an app and maybe focus what I'm really good/knowledgable at; that is architecture.


Another one of my side projects; is creating a screen printing machine. Below is one of the instruction pages from http://www.printingplans.com/ I got all the materials I need...just bought the wood last week and I'm ready to start planning my cuts pretty soon. Will keep you updated.
