Dave,
Thank you for all your contributions. I bought your Google SketchUp Guide for Woodworkers at Finewoodworking.http://www.tauntonstore.com/fine-woodworkings-google-sketchup-guide-for-woodworkers-basics-download-067125.html I went through it three times amd printed out the video Transcript. Very nicely done if I might add. What a great start to Google SketchUp. Next I bought Tim Killens 145 page Google SketchUp Guide for Woodworkers http://www.tauntonstore.com/sketchup-guide-for-woodworkers-tim-killen-ebook-077846.html. Wow. He covers it all. Then over at FineHomebuilding is TheTimberTailor geared to the carpenterhttp://www.finehomebuilding.com/profile/TheTimberTailor. If a guy can't find what he wants here well. Then join get more involved here. I love it.
I can tell you these gentleman do what they do because they love it. The and they do it so well. The people at Taunton are lucky to have you guys.

Desk, Abraham Roentgen, c. 1758 - c. 1760

This desk has numerous hidden compartments and drawers and even includes a folding kneeling bench. It was made for Johann Philipp von Walderdorff, Archbishop and Elector of Trier, and is embellished at the top with his portrait and coat of arms. This desk is the greatest showpiece ever made by Abraham Roentgen –the most famous German cabinetmaker of his time.

Jolly joker, John.

Actually, I'd draw it up if you can find me the construction details.

Tom, a belated thank you for the nice remarks.

Here's an unabashed plug for a blog that I contribute to.

Sorry : it's a plugin or a blog ?
(don't found the plugin)

Of course very good Blog for wood workers! I give this one very often for the French "menuisiers et ébénistes" !

Dave R

Sorry Pilou, the word is 'plug', not plugin. The word is used thusly:

PLUG
informal
mention (a product, event, or establishment) publicly in order to promote it.
"during the show he plugged his new record"
synonyms: publicize, promote, advertise, mention, bang the drum for, draw attention to;

Thank you for the compliment.

pilou

Aaaah! OK!

In French we use "Plug" as Plugin English's abbreviation!

Box

Does that mean you would abbreviate a Button Plugin to a simple Butt Plug?

pilou

As I am not an English native speaker so...
After a little research images of your 2 last words, I discover that your are a little ironic joker! (+ 18)

I had a mouthful of coffee when I read that. Now it's on my screen and keyboard.

Hi Dave --

In reference to the post I just made on your Woodworking Basics video, are there any particular posts (or series) for a SU beginner on your blog, that I should point my friend to?

There's such a wealth of material in the 55 pages (!) of posts, that it's a little tough to ID those at the appropriate level. Just thought that there might be an obvious starting point for him that you know of.

Thanks,

Doug

Hi Doug. The blog format is difficult for doing a start here, end there sort of continuity thing. There are a few posts with videos that show the basic process I use to create a model. One of them is here with a part 2 here. Maybe those will help.

I understand. Thanks for the link, I'll pass it along.
