Back in the day

Jim Fortune has been building cool stuff for a really long time. We are going to dig into the archive a little today. This oak map table is a beautiful thing he built for our dear friend Norman in 1994(ish).


Maps were an important part of Jim and Norman's lives at that point because they were forever taking their bikes and kayaks into remote locations and, y'all, there was no Google maps yet.

Here's a picture of it with one of its elegant drawers extended:


And here is a picture of it under construction in Jim's old workshop. Which looks like it was purple? No, he says his workshop was not purple. It was just the light.
