I see. You asked for KMZ files which don't have anything to do with KT so I was confused.

I generally don't save those XML files after I've made the final render. And I know in the case of that one, I did move the lights after I got into KT. Sorry.

Thanks, everyone. Dave Richards has taught me well: Draw only what you need, then make as many copies as you need. So here, a quarter of the table was all I needed.

Very nicely done.

Thank you, sir.

I did the vise hardware several years ago for a different workbench for them. Fortunately I saved the component. I doubt I really got paid for the time the hardware took originally but at least it's now spread out over two projects. Who knows? maybe it'll get used again.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Don't want to piss off the cat fans, I'll just say I'm not a fan. Think Rich is on to something, the perfect multi-use table !

Thanks, all. Maybe I'll use cedar instead of teak. And spend the difference on more gin.

Is this what you had in mind, Rich?

Thanks Doug , Yeah I'm pretty stuck on the mid century stuff. Dream home would be a renovated Eichler that's full of cool vintage furnishings....... I can dream....

Thanks for the good words and the observation about Arts & Crafts.

Gene,
Cool model.
Here's one way to shape the wishbone back, using the native SketchUp tools:
Think about how you would make the piece in the shop: Probably cooper a blank, then bandsaw the shape. The SketchUp routine is similar, but since there's no bandsaw tool in SketchUp you'll intersect two shapes and erase the parts you don't need.
Begin by drawing the wishbone shape at its maximum thickness. It will be easier if you do this so the shape aligns with the red and blue axes. Make the shape a component. Then use the 2-point arc tool to draw the curve. Do this on the side of the wishbone shape, making sure the wishbone shape is not open for editing. Use Push/Pull to push the curve shape through the wishbone. Double-click the curve shape, go to edit>cut. Double click the wishbone shape and go to edit>paste in place. Single-click the component, copy it, and use the scale tool to enlarge the copy 100 times. Now, work on the giant copy. Double-click it, select everything, then go to edit>intersect faces>with selection. Erase all the waste. You should be left with a curved and tapered wishbone. Delete the giant copy and use the zoom extents tool to get back to the original component. Now you can rotate it into position on the model.
Hope this helps.

Thank you Dave.

Not as I saw that you used Kerky

lovely piece!

I have an article and companion video on how to use SketchUp to plan a segmented turning. It's scheduled to appear later this year in "American Woodturner," the journal of the American Association of Woodturners. If you aren't already a member, receiving the journal is an excellent reason to join.

Thanks David. Your correct the doors operate like a roll top desk. Only difference is they slide horizontal, operation and construction is basically the same. Surprisingly enough on the original pieces the doors slid real easy. They were pretty high quality stuff, solid teak. Wish I had them now. Chuck.

Future quiet afternoon! 😎

@Cotty, with many thanks to my long-suffering editor, here is a copy of the table of contents from the book.

Dave your so right about the pricing. Pieces that were more mass market still can be found at reasonable prices but if it's by one of the top manufacturers with attributes to one of the top designers of the era your wallet will take a beating.

DavidH , many thanks.

Pilou , Yes it's typical of 50's - 60's mid century modern style. Not a copy of one particular chair. combined elements of the arm from two different chairs I've seen.

Thanks, tuna.

Thanks, tuna. I'm always intrigued by interesting pieces by famous architects and designers. This one is quite a challenge, so it may take a while to finish it.
