Some design ideas to solve my problems!

Here are a few different design ideas that I am thinking about for my anti-moose (our house dog) storage device.

This idea is a parody of the food pyramid where each storage spot is one of the different food group zones.

This one takes the idea of traditional wood carved story boards to tell the tale (tail) of the new food storage unit.

Here we have a very basic design for storage, but each door panel has the face of the owner cut into it.

Here is a funny take on storage where Moose is the actual shelf and he is reaching up to get all the food! How like that little devil!

The problem

Well I had narrowed down my problem/problems to wanting to build something, to use my hands and make something useful for around the house. The main issue with this idea was that I had no clue what I wanted to make! I was torn between something functional with a real purpose for my house, or something neat that was pleasing to look at or interact with. Of course I could make something that covered both of these areas, but i still didn't have any idea what that thing might be.

Well following off of the problem method, I decided that my new problem was not know what to make with my hand. Fortunately all of my problems were solved with the not so long lasting mystery of the bread bandit! Who was stealing all of the beard? Where had it gone to? Some strange land of lost bread? No that can be, that's just crazy! But maybe all the mold comes from this strange land???

Nope! Turns out the culprit is none other then Moose the dog :(

Yes i know, he may look harmless right now, but if you were a loaf of bread you wouldn't last a second against this monster!

With my problem solved I now needed a solution. How am I to design something to keep this "little" guy off of the food racks and the bread out of his belly? Well that's the problem that I'm probably going to tackle, but at this moment I'm not 100% what i will add to our set up to make it more moose proof, and I don't know how i'll manage to work out using the laser cutter, but these are all things i plan on figuring out in the very near future!

That's all for now, more craziness later!

Mind mapTastic!

Here is a quick look at some of my "connections."

Enjoy!
