Dave I have a compass plane but i find them best if the the curve is only in one plane. The surfboard is always 2 curves so a compass plane would not work. Holding a plane at an angle with only a small area in contact with the board works well, just different from all my planing trying to make a surface flat.

@jpalm32 said: Those legs look really fragile. Are they sturdy? Is there a way of adding support w/o hurting the look? Its not that bad to be honest but I don't know of a way to add any support on this project.

Very impressive.

new now by swiss cadbox I am pleased, you a new version of my cadbox-tool to present. Create you easily CBS-elements and furniture components with the new images-toolbars. The plugin is easy, 100% free and not coded. So bring you as 3d freak their needs purely and they can adapt it. I would like to tell more, but my english is a big disaster and makes surely headache. The best is, you look in the side: http://cadbox.ch/ [url=http://cadbox.ch/:2lnd0lqr] [image: cb4k.jpg] [/url:2lnd0lqr]

I just wish I had a picnic

Hi David, I used TIG's Extrude Edges by Rails after drawing the outlines. I described it here.

With all that looming over me, I would take a nap, too.

Very nice clean model, thanks very much.

Thanks you two

Hi David, Thanks for the link. I'll check out his site. I've thought about making other puzzles but these boxes were mainly done to pick up the slack for my brother. He has for the past several Christmases "wrapped" gifts for our niece that are a challenge to unwrap. Last year's box required a screw driver to open. The lid was inset flush with the sides. He put in about two dozen screws around the edges of the lid and two in the middle. The ones around the edges were decoys and had nothing to do with holding the lid on the box. To open it she had to remove one of the screws near the middle and then reach down in the hole with a smaller screw driver and turn another screw to the left to jack the lid up off the magnets that were holding it closed. Of course she removed all the screws around the edges first. The year before he made a plywood box in which he put the gift and surround it with that expanding spray foam. Steve's kind of mean that way but it's all in fun and Katie loves to get gifts from him. This year they won't be as much of a challenge.

The HTML files for the layouts have never shown on Mac but you can save SVG files of the layout and open them. I don't use them anyway so it's never been a big issue for me but using the SVG files would allow you to control how they appear on a page so you could get several on a single sheet if you want. I have V4.1.5 on my MacBook running 10.6.8. The text fields are black but the text appears in white. I understand Steve has some plans this winter to make some changes to the plugin and this may get addressed. As for the Print Preview issue, I've never heard of this before but I'll look into it. For my use I generate a CSV file, manipulate it in a spreadsheet application and then print that so I've never actually tried printing the list that is displayed when the plugin runs. Edited to add: I tried the printing thing and have no problem with any tools in SketchUp afterward.

That's TIG with the memory. Yes, I did draw that table some time ago. I used a tile from Motawi in the center. It's a fun little table. Your model looks pretty good, David. I did notice the top is a wee bit low on the legs.

Excellent! I'm such a nit picker.

FWIW, I've simplified it to use simple rabbets for joining the vertical pieces. It should be less fussy to cut those joints.

Hi folks. See this SU file for ideas. Chisel rack.skp

Thank you gentlemen.

nice rendition

Ok Dave I finally got it-I think I'm loosing it-heyhe and thankyou very much, I also found your video on animation great.

Thanks for this plugin - long waiting for something like this!! But there is a problem with encoding - I'm using cyrillic names inside SketchUp - components, materials, sub-assembly, file name and etc. When exporting for Excel/OpenOffice I get a wired file name - @unknownuser said: кирилица_тесС(for Excel/OpenOffice)‚.csv . The same when exporting for CutList Plus fx - @unknownuser said: кирилица_тесС(for CutList fx)‚.csv When importing the .cvs in CutList Plus fx the names are also wired - [image: XMwO_2012-11-25_080035.jpg] I have to change the encoding from UTF-8 to Unicode for CutList Plus fx to properly recognize the names. Here are the files: Cyrillic.zip
