This is a challenging design to build.
Not suitable for a beginner.
It is offered in the spirit outlined
at the masthead of this site:
Design is a distillation of Craft
The best design is not a set of instructions.
Good design inspires us to relate both to the materials at hand
and our place in the world: physical, social, and spiritual.
Design provides a framework for Craft
where we may develop our skills
Design is not a prison of intention
Design is a trellis
