Cush Box

I am in search of feedback for a new item that not only fits in perfectly with today's trends, but is destined to become timeless.

Cush Box is a multi-use design. It can be a laptop/serving/dining tray, personal storage box with a work surface, game board, homework station, indoor or outdoor end table, etc...

Every box comes with a cushion that is held magnetically to the underside. The cushion is not only there to keep the box level on your lap or bed but it is also meant to be used as a sleep aid. The natural filling makes it ideal for a sleep mask or to tuck between your knees (if you've never tried this you should).

Each box can be made, at no extra charge, to your specifications. You can choose all of the dimensions, the way you access the box, by a drawer or lid, where and if there are dividers, stain color, natural or sanded finish, etc.

               

Prototypes.

                

Extra options would be a stand (with many designs to choose from), wall mounting hardware to make it a floating bedside table (still remains portable), wood burning designs, inlays, paint, intricate sewing designs, etc.

All the wood used in a Cush Box will be from reclaimed materials!  

Pricing: Cush Box complete with cushion $30. Stand $30. Extras ,as explained above, on either the box, stand, or cushion is $10 per item. Wall mounting hardware for docking station of Cush Box $10.

Picasso dove tiny house

The tiny house movement is strong in Texas and I believe will be the way of the future for many people around the world. This is my latest project in Austin, with rafters inspired by Picasso's dove.

 This evolved from an idea I had in my sketch book.

Douglas Cycle

The Douglas model A is my own design using inspiration from historical building methods of motorcycles and bicycles. The frame is made of 3 inch aluminum tubing and assembled using lugs. Lugs are the corner pieces that determine the angles of the frame. The lugs are also made from aluminum tubing that is cut and welded at a precise angle. The straight sections are then fit into the lug and welded. This method allows the tubing to be assembled without any bending which makes for a stronger frame, and in my opinion offers a unique and custom look.

The size of the model A is comparable to a 125cc motocross bike. They will come with a rebuilt 50cc engine from one of the major motorcycle companies. The engine mounting cradle is interchangeable  and can be adjusted in order to fit up to a 250cc motor. The idea is that you buy one bike to start out on and it grows with you as your skill level increases and riding environment changes.

Some of the options I want to offer can be seen in the pictures. The color choice of each individual part is up to you. Eventually there will be an outline drawing that you can paint at the website and save.

One of the most important features I want to offer is that every bike comes with a complete instructional video that shows how to take down and assemble the whole bike to its smallest component. It will show how to do all of the regular maintenance along with a complete list of all the tools needed and a list of where to get them.

If you have an interest in being a part of Douglas Cycle and going along on a great ride you can contact me at 419 944 5791. 

Thanks for reading,
