I don't know, Frenchy. Dave Richards apparently has never met a plugin he didn't like.

Ha Peter! FWIW the sled goes on the table saw. I didn't install the runners yet. The stop allows you to cut to the length at the inside of the rabbet so all you need to know is the size of the artwork to accurately cut the molding.

Thanks gentlemen.

@hornoxx said: Can you buy a wood-shape-bender (a real one analog with plug) in a specialized shop? @dave r said: I expect you can buy a steam box although most people who steam bend wood would probably make their own. Dave's undoubtedly correct that (most) pros build their own steam-bending set-up, but Rockler does sell this kit (along with plans for the box itself) for hobbyists: https://www.rockler.com/steam-bending-kit-w-free-bentwood-carryall-plan-download

Thanks for the good words, everyone. Here's a stack of mugs. Best, dh [image: rHOb_hellermugbyvignellicopy.png]

LOL! Jeff Miller would like that.

LOL. I do channel him a bit when I set up lighting for renders. Zone system, inverse square law and that sort of thing.

Thanks, Dave. Ditto your model of the Gimson Chest. dh

Funny guy.

Transitional? Ikea-ish

Lovely work! Bravo.

Not sure when I'll make it to Boston, so keep the beer on ice, jtri. Thanks to all for the good words. Best, dh

Thanks, all.

It's looking darn good so far!

Thank you all!

Thanks, Dave. Modeling beats real work.
