        Pretty nice model, Stormking. I found a few small things that could be changed/cleaned up but overall it's pretty good. Do you have pictures of the actually unit you built? Could you share them?

          A couple of additions:
          An American Empire-style chair with scroll arms, from "American Furniture Treasures." And a Hepplewhite drawer pull based on a design from Whitechapel Ltd. Both models are also in the 3D warehouse.
          As always, thanks to Dave Richards for casting his careful eye over the models and finding things that need to be fixed.
          Also as always, I'd appreciate any kind of feedback.
          Thanks,
          David

            Having done some chairs, it was obviously time for me to make a table. You can see it in the 3D warehouse by following this link:

            The file is too large (5+MB) to post here directly.
            As always, I'd appreciate feedback of all types.
            Best,

              It is very challenging to design or sketch a chair. This will build and enhance our artistic ability. In addition with that, I am very interested to see the American empire chair. I hope you will post it here.

                Dear Karen05,
                The chair is here. Look up a couple of entries to my post of February 12. You can also find the chair model on the 3D Warehouse by following this link:

                Let me know what you think of the piece.
                Thanks,
                David

                  A gate I made originally designed by a wonderful architect in Santa Fe in the 1930's.

                    Hi Frank,

                    That's a nice looking gate. Very sturdy, too. It is also an excellent illustration of how components can be used to reduce file size. I spent a few minutes fixing your model and reduced the file size by about 83%.

                    Thanks for posting the link to it.

                      Thanks David. I wasn't even thinking along the size line when I submitted it. I went back and did the same thing on the model in the warehouse.

                            Hi Peter,

                            I saw that cabinet the other day. Nice work. Welcome to SCF, too.

                                Very nice. It looks like it would be an interesting piece to build.

                                If you were interested, you could do some things to improve the efficiency and reduce the file size.

                                  I am sure of that. This one is a real one we have in our appartment and that my girlfriend spent >1 year to have back to new. It was one of my first "accurate" models, and I have improved my skills in the meantime, but I am not sure I want to dig in it again to improve it 😉

                                      Here's a few models that might be of use. I haven't put them up on the warehouse yet.

                                            Hi Scott,

                                            Your bookcase looks pretty nice. It's a pretty big file for what it is. It could use some improvements in efficiency and you could reduce the number of segments in the various curves without losing any appreciable detail. The bird feeder also looks nice but it could do with some improvements as well. Keep plugging away. It'll come.
