Oak dinette furniture

Hi Gully
The chairs look nice and comfortable and the table would appear to extend. Did you make this yourself?I'm tempted to ask Coen if the woodworkers on this site could maybe have a shed to play in, and maybe talk about methods of making etc.
Pass on a few tips etc.
Any views on that?

Nice Gully.
I would be open for an area to talk about sawdust.

Alan, although I do like to putter with woodworking projects, I didn't make any of this stuff.
Actually, I'm planning to move to another state and build a new house next year, which is why I was drawn to SU in the first place, and I've modeled a lot of my existing furniture to put inside the model of my new house.
Still, I'd like to see a Woodworking section of the forum.

I think Gidon could be up for that based on another post.

Very true Alan! I think the other post you're refering to might be the thread I started a while back. You can see it here:
http://forum.sketchup.com/showthread.php?t=59328&highlight=woodworkers+of+the+world+uniteI'd be more than happy to put in the time and whatever effort may be needed to establish such a sub-forum.

Thanks for that dining-room set! Beatiful work, as usual.

And I would happily join you. I have visited the forums you mentioned and they are very informative.Being a 'sketchuper' if there is such a word, I like the idea that we can communicate using this medium. I think that it is an excellent product, enhanced and with this superb facility provided by Coen.

Guys I have already "marked" this thread to Coen to think about the new (sub) forum. I can see that there are quite a lot of woodworkers around so a separate place would be nice - though I'm afraid then you wouldn't hang around in the "common places" so much.
-
Gaieus,
Thanks for that.

No fear of that! I don't believe any woodworking SketchUper would want to miss out on the wealth of information and expertise that is constantly posted on this and on the pro users forum. However, there are issues that are specific and peculiar to woodworking that would intrigue woodworkers but probably bore the rest. Not to mention the woodworkers tendency to go off at a tangent discussing wood grain, growth rings,joinery techniques and so on and so forth. Now, do you realy want to subject the general SU public to that kind of abuse?

Totally agree with your last post.
So much to know and so much to learn. All good fun

I certainly will miss you. But here is my best woodwork as a go-away present.
An Adirondack type chair made of Roble wood in Indonesia, and was sold by Costco.I will visit,

I don't understand. Are you leaving? Because I certainly have no intention of going anywhere, and I don't believe any other wood working SketchUper will stop frequenting any of the other forums here if a wood working forum were to be set up.
These forums are like home to me, and in every home there are many rooms. Just because I may want to have a cup of coffee with some friends in the wood working room doesn't mean I won't have a beer with my buddies in the material/components room and then drop in for some cookies with the guys in the Pro Users lounge.
See what I mean?
By the way, beautiful chair. Thanks for sharing. -
Gidon,
I never thought of the possibility that I will be taken serious. I apologize for that.Eric

That looks rather comfortable. Are there cushions as well?

Alan,
as you should know, the origin for this type of chair is a 19th Century English Lawn Chair. Here is another one:

Have a nice day,
