    That's a pretty fancy router table, Eric. Good work.

    Here's another Mid-Century piece I did while doodling at lunch.

      Dave,
      Gorgeous texture for the blond wood. Is this for a hi-fi and a stack of LPs, or will it hold a Mad Man's liquor supply? (They do knock back an awful lot of Canadian whisky on that series.) And doesn't the cabinet need midcentury-modern pulls, shaped more or less like Rude Osolnik's iconic candlesticks?
      Best,
      dh

        David,

        Frankly I would go for the booze. πŸ˜„

        It does indeed need some mid-century modern pulls. Yours is pretty good maybe we'll go with it. Thanks.

          Hi Dave
          Up 4:45 am, Model till 9:00 am, build house till 6:00 pm, maybe a little more modeling, maybe a glass of wine till 8:30- 9:00 PM, down for the count... repeat... repeat... ( sneak in a little SketchUcation, and some grub)
          But, as Dad used to say, you dig your own hole πŸ˜„

          Another Formica retro are those ones that used to come on the chrome kitchen sets.[attachment=0:3na32dre]<!-- ia0 -->Screen shot 2012-06-23 at 7.50.41 AM.png<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:3na32dre]

          By the way, love the table πŸ‘

          My schedule is somewhat similar to Dale's. It involves wait for weekend then drive 150 miles and repair newly acquired old house, curse original builder and after the weekend drive back 150 miles and spend the week planning the next remodeling attack. Hope to live long enough to enjoy the fruits of my labor. This week is dead as the jeep developed an oil leak and the gear box gave out. Today I limped three miles in 103F heat from the repair garage back to my house. That is not so far, but with the heat and gout the journey was infinite. I could see mountains in the distance called the "Estrellas". Old Spanish maps were marked "Journada de las Estrellas" meaning in Spanish "Journey by the Stars" with the implied ending "or the heat of day will kill you." Blessed are those who build and repair their own homes for they will be able to pass through the eye of a needle"

            Dale and Roger, we seem to have sort of similar schedules. I seem to wake up sometime between 2:00 and 4:00 am, do SketchUp work until it's time to get ready for work at 5. Leave for work at 5:30. Work until 4. Back home and back to doing drawing work until 9 or 10. Repeat. Weekends I sleep in until 4:30 or 5, draw at least until the family is up. Depending on weather I draw most of the rest of the day unless the weather is nice and we go sailing.

              For a proper mid-century look, shouldn't the top be made of salmon-pink Formica with that boomerang pattern on it?

              It's bound to come back.

              With TBA interfaces we can analyse what is to be achieved so that IT can help with automation to achieve it.

                Chris, you're probably right.

                David, here's a slightly different version of your pull and the same case on a different base.

                  Someone told me the pulls were on the doors incorrectly although the cabinet that was the inspiration has them the way I did them originally. Anyway, here's the left hand door turned around.

                    Dave,
                    I like your pulls as well as the second version of the base with the more-vertical legs. Are you planning to build this, or was this just a drawing exerise?

                      Thank you, David.

                      Well, it is probably mostly drawing practice but I would like to replace the old cherry sideboard we have now. The curent one is a piece made in the Amana furniture factory in 1961. It a beautiful piece. Solid cherry throughout and hand carved drawer pulls. There a gate leg table and four chairs, too. This was a dining room set my grandmother ordered from the factory and although it is beautiful furniture, it doesn't really suit us. Before we can get rid of the sideboard, though, we have to a place to put the contents.
