Oss3 Bot7Open source is a word I like even more than grassroots. In fact, now that I think about it, maybe I should have named my website opensourcemodern.com (anyone want to buy that domain for me?) and not grassrootsmodern.com. Open source means you are sharing your knowledge for the greater good, free of charge. That the exact idea behind this open source storage drawings on x818.com. It has all the information you need to make your own affordable DIY modern storage. The end result is quite impressive. All you need is a power drill and $200 and a little sense of adventure.

    Wow. I’ve always wanted to make my own furniture, but figured it couldn’t be done without a massive power tool collection. I think I could actually manage this though, and it looks great!

    I encourage anyone to give it a try. Start by just buying the wood. Worst case you will be out like $80.

    Tom, his email is pski (at) x818.com it is a little hard to find on his site.

    Everyone, let us know how it works.

    I sent an email to the address supplied in Comment #4 on April 1 2008 requesting a copy of the plans and mentioning Grassroots Modern as the source but I haven’t heard anything back yet. Has anyone actually received a set of plans yet?

    That is really cool. This shows how you can really make a cool piece of furniture for next to nothing… it just takes some creativity and tools.
