Funny the little nodes on the drawn lines! ☀

Indeed, Peter. It also depends upon what you need to get out of the model when finished. It wouldn't be all that useful to have a cutlist showing halves or quarters of parts when you need the whole thing.

The top surface is only thick at the edges. most of it is half the visible thickness. So normal butt hinges applied to the bottom surface would work just fine. But that requires the notches so the thicker edges of the leaves clear.

It's not as pretty as a rule joint but it is simple. The table was designed for farmhouse/rustic summer cottage type decor. I could see making one out of well-seasoned construction grade lumber or WRC for a porch.

Nope. Not more than I wanted to know. I hadn't thought about it until now but the base would be turned separately from the urn so you can get it through the bandsaw sitting on its bottom. Makes sense and certainly safer.

Sometimes the simplest things are so delightful! If you gaze at this long enough, I swear it starts to rock! (no pun intended)

Looks VERY heavy, none will be able to steal it from the foyer 😉

nice 👍

Thanks for input , but it does not support grain direction.
Thanks!

Not sure exactly how that works

the mechanism looks basically like a nail gun firing pin that shoots the blade out of the way.. (at 0:40 in the video above)

as far as the detection, i imagine the blade has a charge applied to it and if your body touches the blade, the circuit closes and the safety feature activates?

I work with millimeters and imperial and I don't round.

When I work in imperial I would cut a 4" nailer
When I work in metric it would be a 100mm nailer

I will check the thickness of panels and adjust them to 1 decimal in mm.
I keep imperial and metric standards.

Nice!

I hope so. 👍

Yea, I agree... but still - well organised component!

You'll find a lot of useful and valuable hints in Daves videos in that blog, you should watch them all over time...

Indeed! And no wasted wood. 😉

I'm afraid I got the discussion sidetracked from Gene's design. It's very interesting, and it shows how Mackintosh took the Arts & Crafts esthetic in a new direction. Gene's model looks to be very faithful to the original.

Robert,
Comfortable enough for a seat in an airport food court, I suppose.

Sorry, but I have no idea whether this piece was used as a two-sided bookcase. The absence of a back is a concern because the piece is liable to rack with some good stiffener. But I just model 'em.
Thanks for all the good comments.
Best,

Ben, it could sit on a desk or a child's table. The overall width is about 24 inches.

Joe Zeh's Cutlist Bridge can probably do what you want - it's purpose is to create a file for use by Cutlist Plus. It can be overkill for simpler needs because you have to enter a lot of info into the model, but I believe it handles grain orientation and materials among other things.
