He stated:
...This post kicks off something I hope can become a regular feature on this blog. An open design critique where you can submit your work, finished or in progress. As a group of furniture builders we get the honor of [...]

Chris is my hero next to St. Roy. ;-) Bob is supposed to be a wiz on the SketchUp and I have his book. I haven't decided on the training download/CD but I'm leaning toward it. George Walkers site is amazing and his insight, while a bit flowery, is spot on. You know those artistic bunch can ramble on and on about anything instead of just saying...oooh pretty! Just kidding George!

Drawings? in the group Design: @Bill, It is always good to use dimensions and proportions from pieces that appeal to one’s senses. It means the particular piece has good proportions. In case you have missed it, Bob Lang, Senior Editor at Popular Woodworking, recently started the online SketchUp Shop Class Now In Session. Drew DePenning, also with Popular Woodworking Magazine, did [...]

Drawings? in the group Design: @hoody, The vision is possibly one of the most important considerations early on; there is no need to rush the conversion from vision to final piece, regardless what others might feel or think. It is *your* project, after all. Now, if it is a spouse, that is a different story... No matter how simple the sketches, [...]

Drawings? in the group Design: You are talking to a real beginner here. Keep that in mind! I get a "vision" of what I would like to create, and I spend waaaaay too much time on it, developing it in my mind. Then, rudimentory scetches, just to record the measurements, to remind me when I have to cut it. Then [...]

Drawings? in the group Design: I wonder if you use:
1. Paper and pencil
2. A computer program like SketchUp
3. Some other computer program?
4. Do you simply wing it?
5. How do you arrive at the project's proportions?

Drawings? in the group Design: I'm not an expert so take anything I write with a grain. When I'm looking, meaning planning, I tend to get pictures, go anywhere I can see a piece that matches my needs. Then I use Paper & Pencil and keep drawing until I get what I think I want. The general dimensions come from [...]

That is exactly (I think) the reason that some of the Sommerfeld router bit sets have a back cutter, but I could be wrong, of course. The finish on the headboard is truly outstanding! I love [...]

The UC210 profile in the set made the raised panel. The panel, when used with 3/4" stock is proud of the rail and stile by 1/8". Why the set does not allow for flush panels is beyone me. In order to [...]
