Modular Bamboo Furiture System that Uses Local Craftsmen

Using templates and jigs local craftsmen create the modular elements to form a wide variety of furniture forms. This has the potential to be a great model for local production done on a small scale that provides employment using few upfront costs to the craftsmen. A payment structure for this kind of piecemeal work could easily be utilized.

Red Shed Bike Shop Program Participation Forms























This is the Program Participation Form I developed for the Red Shed bike shop. The idea is to get kids involved with the permission of their parents in activities that train them to fix bikes and to take care of their own by using the RSBS tools responsibly. I am sure that it will evolve as the program develops but for now it is the model we developed after careful consideration of the various challenges of successfully building the structure of the RSBS. Any comments are welcome.
