Client sketch of proposed design

Plans I found online. All measurements scaled to 1/12.

Rough cut - still too thick, lots of sanding and shaping and glass edge polishing to do.

This view intended to match the view of the next pic from the Herman Miller site.

In the place it will end up, with some tiny chairs.

So lovely.

Some notes on sizes

Interesting perspective

Hard at work - using the new workmate from Julie's Dad
