      Good luck in the fridge.

      FWIW, Jim's Trim and Keep made quick work of the mortises, dadoes and grooves in this model. There's lots of them, too. I'd probably still be drawing this if I'd use the Trim tool from the Solid Tools set. No. I tell a lie. I would have done all those manually in much less time than I'd have spent using the Trim tool. I'm thankful for Jim.

        Missed that model, Dave. Sweet! I like the drawer fronts. Makes the clear parts look fancier, no matter the grade or species. How do you use that pegboard thingy?

          Thank you Peter. On the original, the drawer fronts and the tongue and groove panels on the back and sides were painted with blue milk paint which was then oiled to give it a rich deep color.

          That "pegboard thing" is called a dead man or a lazy jack. There would be a large peg inserted into a hole to support a wide board or a door on edge clamped in the front vise for planing. It slides on its shoe in the groove.

            Thanks Dave, Trim and Keepp is working flawless. I was succesfull in trimming all the strut instances against all the hub instances of my geodesic dome model.

                I am glad you were successful too. FYI Trim and Meep purposefully does not remove the components left around after performing the operation. They are all still available in the Component Browser. Run a Purge Unused operation to clean them up.

                  That's a good point and I should have mentioned it.

                    I suppose you are the Jim who wrote "Trim and Keep", many thanks for that!

                        Aye. You're welcome. Thank Dave - he's the one who conceived it - I just wrote it.

                          I suppose I'd better change it though. Who's going to search for Trim and Meep?
