What NOT to do when home from work
-
So I'm home from work, not feeling real bad but very contagious. I start doodling in SU and look at my wrist watch. End of the day and then some more . . .
Model at: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=91f32787b009cd002331b5d5dd1cf817
I also used a spreadsheet to find that the exact moment when the hands are opposite each other in the traditional display position (usually referred to as 10:10) is 10:09:13.8461472.
Yes. I am compulsive. Yes I know.

Really nice model. Looks beautifully done. Sometimes a break from the routine can free up creativity. Thanks for sharing.

That watch looks like mine, I cant believe the exactness of the detail. does your have a curved (fish eye)crystal?

Wow! That's amazing John.
I can still remember some of your early models. You've come a long way.

Thanks for the praise. It feels good!
Hank, Yes, it does have a curved crystal. Very tough to show in SU, but I may try to render it which should pick it up. The watch is a SNA-139 and I really like it. The only real flaw I see with it is that is that the dial for minutes when using the stopwatch is too small to read without taking off my glasses.
Dave, Boy are you right. I learned so much from your bureau tutorial. That was really the start from which I got SketchUp. Efficient modeling and small file size kinda goes out the window when trying something like this. I think the circle for the case has 360 sides (horror), but most everything is quartered and componented. If this were likely to be used as a component in another model, I'm sure I could make it smaller.
Again,

Exceptional work, John. Truely exceptional.
This proves what I tell so many people: when you work with SU you're actually working on your hobby. I know of very few other programs that are as powerful and veratile and fun and just plain addictive.
Again, beautiful work, John.
