New Design 03/04/2009
 

Don't be alarmed! The site is still here! In case you haven't noticed, I've recently started playing around with some additional HTML and CSS for the site and decided to change things around from the stock templates that my web hosting provider includes. I'm not very proficient with this stuff so I'm keeping it pretty simple right now but I wanted an updated design that wasn't so stock. I'll probably continue to play around with it but some of the differences you might notice are a wider content area, menus moved to the left hand side, a new, more appropriate font for the site title and a nice new period molding at the top of the page. So far I'm liking the new design.

Sorry there hasn't been much woodworking talk around here lately. I haven't gotten much shop time recently but hopefully I'll get some time in the shop soon and have plenty to share here. In the mean time, enjoy the new design of the site!

Thanks Jamie! The videos are coming. Just need to get the blasted cabinet doors done. I have one more panel to carve and then the final assembly. Just haven't gotten any shop time the last few weeks to get them done. Hopefully I'll finish them this weekend.

Bob,

I like the new design especially the gadrooning.

Bob,

I like it, but have to admit that the pillar reminds me of Roman style stone work. In that regard I don't immediately associate the theme with woodworking, but that's not important, IMO.

The background is warm, so the colors work for me. The earth tones work well.

Regards,
Alan

Thanks Alan!

The column is a reference to Chippendale but I kind of figured a lot of folks wouldn't associate it with that. I may try something else like a corbel or something like that. I'm not sure I completely like the column myself but thought I'd try it.
