EXTREME ADVANCED BEGINNER: Projects & Preoccupations

EXTREME ADVANCED BEGINNER: A person who is competent in pursuing an activity, and will go all out, but is not considered an expert. I identify myself as an extreme advanced beginner. The idea came from living in a community where many people are "world class" at what they do. Since I'm only proficient, albeit at a variety of things, I started using the term to describe myself. Enjoy these musings about my projects and preoccupations.

Karen Turns 50!

As an extreme advanced beginner at many things, on my birthday I decided to go out and play in several of my favorite winter exploits. I lucked out with a rare on-demand powder day here at Mt Bachelor. Enjoy the fun!

#1 CLASSROOM ART TABLES

The dream. Creating an art classroom from scratch. 3 island sinks. Deep drawers. Natural lighting. The scene framed from the south with a wall of windows filtered through giant ponderosa pines. What about furniture? I decided to build 4 large tables that would accommodate 6 students each. Designed for standing or sitting on high stools. I thought to build them out of wood, but having taken a welding class 2 years ago, I seemed destined to fashion them from steel. See Blog Posts September and October 2011 - Art Tables.
