Greene & Greene Thorsen House Inspired Side Table
-
Here's a side table for you all. I based it on one I found in a magasine. It's pobably too heavy to use as a component in a model. I drew it with all the joinery and used components for the individual parts.
I guess it could be stripped down to make it light enough to use in larger models.

Ooo, I like it.

Thanks Dave, That goes in the Greene&Greene style cottage I'm currently working on.
-
That is beautiful. Thanks for sharing it.

Sweeeeeeeeet! You did it again, Dave. Thanks, Tom.

Lovely model, Dave.
I can understand making a model with all of the joinery as a way of planning out your production process. I do that often so that I can be certain the craftsmen will produce exactly what I want. If I think it's worth posting as a model I usualy make a copy and simplify it as much as I can.
Is it alright with you if I re-do your model without the joinery and redundant faces? It's a beautiful model but for use as a component it's somewhat over-modeled. -
By the way guys, there is now a wood-working sub-forum that you can find at the bottom of the Board index under 'special interest groups'.

Gidon, if you want to do it, go right ahead. I generally don't draw furniture with the intent that it'll be used as a component in a larger model. I guess I'd need to modify every one of my pieces before posting them, then.

Dave, don't worry about modifying your work just for us
Make what you want to make for you then show it off man. If I were to use this in a job I would probably not modify it a bit. That is unless I were placing hundreds of them, then I might cut the poly count down. -

I must be blind. I can find Special Interest forums at all.

Of course they aren't as small as they could be but they are dimensionally accurate and you could take them apart and make working drawings for your wood shop from them.

No you are not Dave, the idea was premature and got held off until after the transfer is completed. We will revisit the idea of a WW sub-forum real soon.

And that is why I like you to post them
The more ways I can learn to build anything with wood the better off I am.
Thanks.
