my first eps file
with a tip of the hat to joe mulcahy for gimp work and to seamus mcmoriss for teaching me how to port eps files from autocad. that was how to teach and learn but all done in far too much of a hurry. i saved the file in photoshop and made the following image and resisted the temptation to render it. i like it without a border
the creation of this technical drawing during the design and making of the coffee table has reinforced my belief that it is simply not possible to make a living thing using autocad. the proportions of the table can only really be judged when i am holding the wood in my hands and in fact the design arises as a direct response to the nature of the specific pieces of material
reproducing this drawing at a scale of 1:1 would be inappropriate
