An Eagle Scout Project
-
I thought I'd share a little volunteer project I'm working on. The son of a friend is working on his Eagle Scout project. It's quite a big deal for a 16 year old kid. He develops an idea, recruits people to assist, presents the project to a proponent and makes sure it gets finished.
This is my rendition of one of his ideas for some small garden boxes. The intent if they would be tended by local senior citizens so they are raised up to make it easier to work at. The boxes will be placed along a currently blank wall at a local clinic in his small town.
He was impressed at how easy SketchUp makes the process with Match Photo. He saw me take the photograph and then watched as I set it up in SketchUp and proceeded to draw his boxes.

Cool. Nice work. Oh, and the SketchUp stuff is good, too.
Good luck to your friend's son.

Nice project. Sounds like we might have a budding future SketchUpper in the works!

Good work! Great idea and design. -
Thank you all.

If I might suggest the addition of a 'kicker' at the base. (Don't know what this is called in the US. Foot room essentially). Like a normal kitchen, much more comfortable to use esp. towards the back of the planter.

Generally called a "toe kick" here.

Very cool Dave, and good luck to your friend's son on his Eagle scout project, we need more young people like them.

I thought I'd post an update on this project. The design that was accepted by the committee is this one.
The planters were built in the last few weeks and installed yesterday. Minor construction changes but in general, what the committee chose.
Planting will begin when it finally warms up. Snow possible this evening.

Nice one Dave
