      Dale, this guitar idea was possibly inspired by the Resonant Chamber from Animusic.

          I know right!
          I got the Animusic and Animusic 2 DVD's a couple years ago and unfortunately loaned them to someone who does not ever remember me doing so 😡
          Well when Animusic 3 comes out I will probably get all three.

          Most of the videos are on Youtube however. Check out Starship Groove and Heavy Light. Amazing stuff. Not to mention Pipe Dream.

              Those chairs (last image) look uncomfortable and very wobbly, a case of form and no function IMO.

                I thought I had noted as part of the post,(but I didn't), that this is a child's playset, designed for space saving. That is what drew me to it in the first place.
                Sorry about that, I'm going to claim senility.( now... what was I saying)

                  Maybe not really fine design, but quirky, and looks a little better than that old chunk of wood. Foot in the Door by Liz Dubois, Anthony Petrie (sorry no URL ?)

                            Fine design in architecture can be quite controversial. There is a defender for every movement and style. I'm going to subject the next series of posts to architecture of all kinds. Feel free to endorse or malign.
                            This will of course be done over a period of time.

                              The facade of the building is made out of timber, which was obtained from old wine tanks, from the wineries nearby. The use of this material meant that no paints or sealants was required due to the tight-grained nature of the hardwood
