请问， 把大象放进冰箱里要分几个步骤?

laominzi(老民子)
The chairs were made in 2004. One day I browsed a landscape book in a book store.
Suddenly I was shocked by a picture in the book. In the picture, I was extremely impressed by a pair of deep red chairs. I was deeply touched by its elegant structure, very stable, however full of sense of dynamic. I told myself I want to build them.

Then I started doing research on the design and building procedure through internet and borrowing books from community library. It took about several weekend to finished the work. It was built with 2x6 cedar wood, painted in colonial red color paint (from home depot). The total cost was about $150, yes, much more costly than buying from store.
However, I fully enjoyed the whole process very much. Now, I put them in a corner of my backyard. It becomes one of best views in the garden.

Here is the article I followed to make the chairs.

        • 能不能做，和想不想做是两回事。 -laominzi(老民子); 2010-7-6 {976} (#6161755@0)
          先说能不能做。我的理论是，如果一个职业的市场价格低于你自己的职业市场价格，你就应该能做那个职业的活。因为市场是最好的能力评判者。举个例子。如果你是做IT 的，一小时市场价格是＄９０。你就应该能应付每小时＄２０的木匠工作。但，你可能发现DOCTOR OR LAWYER 的工作你做不了。他们的市场价格远远高于你自己的。

          任何东西，不管看上去怎么FANCY，其实都可以分解成简单的细小的步骤。

          再来说说想不想做。不知道你发现没有，如果你不想做一件事，你可以找到一千个理由不去做这件事。而且每个理由都会很有说服力。如果你想做一件事，一个理由就足够了：I JUST WANT TO DO IT。我干活的动力大都来自于偶然的感动，被一个DESIGN 或一个IDEA 感动。开工之前,我会在头脑里不断变换一个PROJECT 完成时的样子。当PERGOLAR 还没有动工的时候，我的头脑里已充满它爬满青藤的样子。当DINNING TABLE 的 design还没成型的时候，我好想能听到孩子们围坐在桌前的欢笑声。当我用JIGSAW 在车库里割木板的时候，我仿佛＂看到＂Adirondack Chair 宁静，恒久的美。

          当一个人找到了能让自己感动的事，不管事大事小，他／她都会沉浸在追求这个感动的幸福中。

              A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

          • 吼吼,说得俺又信心倍增了.我前阵子不知怎么也被嘛感动了一下下. -purplecold(青山绿水); 2010-7-7 {192} (#6163865@0)
            大言不惭的宣布要自己动手给俺家的窗户们穿上美丽的窗帘,又兴冲冲的去FABRIC LAND扯了几尺花布回家.还没动手呢,就被老公打击和讽刺了好几盘了.我就不信了,感动人的美丽的俺做不出.雷人的也整不出一两幅不成?
            • 两个因素决定了一个PROJECT的总体效果。 -laominzi(老民子); 2010-7-7 {154} (#6163993@0)
              第一是设计，第二是做工。设计决定远看的效果，做工决定近看的效果。两者互补决定了一件活计的最后效果。

              当然，第三个因素是要家里人支持。你得能＂呼悠＂才行。
              • 初次DIY都有个问题，就是在设计时很难预计出项目完工后的效果。结果最后的结果与设想总有写距离、甚至较大的偏差。我就有如此教训，主要是配色。请问你是如何解决这个问题的？ -bigjoe(万里独行); 2010-7-7 (#6164101@0)
                • Agree, however, I don't have quick solution to it either. The good vision and high level craftsmanship is result of long time experiences. -laominzi(老民子); 2010-7-7 (#6164346@0)
      • Beach chairs go with water. Get a little pond or a pool in your backyard. -thornthorn(Holy Moly); 2010-7-5 (#6159837@0)
        • Very good suggestion. -laominzi(老民子); 2010-7-7 {201} (#6163945@0)
          I always think that the lawn in my backyard is a pond with water in green color.
          站在DECK 上，我凭栏远眺，看到的不是草地，是一片池塘。

          半亩方塘一鉴开，天光云影共徘徊。问渠哪得清如许，惟有源头活水来
      • 你也忒能了，这种椅子也能自己做，Superstore卖70一把呢。能否给出做法和流程图片呀？ -bettyzyl(poohbear); 2010-7-5 (#6161012@0)

      • About the octagonal patio table -laominzi(老民子); 2010-7-6 {996} (#6161716@0)
        In year 2008, I went to Canadian Tire looking for one kind of climbing rose. In the store's outdoor gardening section, they setup a patio just for decoration purpose. On the patio, I found a octagonal table and eight chairs. I was very interested in it and took several pictures with my cell phone.

        There is one issue I always think of, that is how to make backyard more inviting. My previous experience told me that as long as you put a chair in backyard, people will find time to sit on it, no matter how shabby the backyard is. As long as you put a table and several chairs on the deck, family members would like to have dinner or breakfast there.

        Basically, I separate the deck area into 4 major areas. One is outdoor living room, one is outdoor dinning room, one is outdoor kitchen, the last one is "beach area" where you can lie down on a lounge, baking yourself under the sun.

        This octagonal table is for outdoor dinning room. It was build with cedar wood in about 3 weekends.

    • I will show it to my husband. Hope he will get motivated! :) -su2008(妈妈咪呀); 2010-7-6 (#6162882@0)
    • It is not a very good match if the color of deck and furniture is too close or same. -goldrush(浮萍); 2010-7-7 (#6164110@0)
      • I think so too. I bough different stain for the table. Somehow the difference is such little that it looks the same color as the deck. -laominzi(老民子); 2010-7-7 (#6164281@0)
