Dovetails at their best
-
I have finally managed to get my web site up and running thanks to Modelhead.
The site is called http://www.hand-cut-dovetails.com
I have a history of fund raising using my skills as a cabinet maker and you will see that if you visit my site. I would like to raise funds to two groups with the first part of this project, that being making the through and lapped dovetail using my methods, jigs, the lot.The two groups are:-
1 This forum.
2 A youth group, details to follow.I will spread the word on 'woodworking forums' and asked them to visit here. In that way they can ask both woodworking/sketchup questions in the one forum.
cheers
Alan.
PS I have had the nod from Coen to do this.

Thank you for that James,
As I said in a previous post I think we are extremely lucky to have had the teach from Bruce.
I've still a long way to go.Sometimes what you get in magazines are snippets of information on a topic and to be honest sometimes, its of little use at all. Beautiful photography sometimes, sometimes not.
Well using sketchup and with the space available that won't happen unless I fail. But them someone can get back to me on this thead to clarify something, I will update the web site, and eventually over time, it will be be best resourse out there. Well that my goal.
In my former working life I had to complete a daily report to my seniors, and at the bottom I always wrote
'Aim****ing to deliver a quality of service second to none'
It put a few noses out of place, but it set mygoal.
So 7 years down the line, its back up there.
cheers

awesome Alan...
just a few tips...
get a special page together for links and start spending about 10 or 20 minutes a day, trading links with others...
go through all of your images and add <alt></alt> tags to them, that makes text appear when you mouse over... this will help with the SE's
the site looks great and with all the text and images, you'll start getting traffic soon...
don't forget to sign up for google adsense...

Alan,
That Kneehole Desk is simply gorgeous. Wouldn't have SU plans for it, now would you? ; -
Jerry,
If you would like to make one I would do a SU model. Not today because I am working hard on my house and awaiting my next lesson from Modelhead on web page building.Now I know this may sound cheeky, but what I am doing is raising money for
1 this forum
2 a youth club.
If I do a sketchup model I would like a donation to this forum.
Now I am sure the answer will be yes.I hope you can understand where I am coming from.
Just throw in a £1.00 or whatever you can afford.
There is a paypal facility in the Newbie forum.
And thank you for asking.
We could make a few quid doing it this way.
cheers,
Alan
