Nomadic furniture questions

I think the overall purpose of these pages is to make simple furniture. They also want the furniture to be compact, nice to look at and somewhat comfortable.

I think the authors want to establish a relaxed and comfortable relationship with their readers. They use their nicknames so that you feel closer to them, almost as if you are a friend of theirs.

I think that if the words in the book had been typed and the illustrations not hand drawn it would make the book feel more formal. It would make it seem as though you were putting together furniture that you bought rather than what you made. I think it would have also made the reader feel as though they had to pay more attention to detail and be more precise.

I think that if the layout were more formal it would encourage you to be more precise and less creative because you would feel you have to follow the directions exactly.

I think the directions on the page are pretty simple to visualize, however if they had been a little more detailed you would not have to think about it in your head as much, it would just be there in front of you.

The purpose of showing people how to make this chair is so that they could have a chair that is easy to assemble, easy to disassemble, inexpensive, and small enough to store just about anywhere.
