Really nice! If my memory is correct there are some nice examples of that high boy at the MFA in Boston. Maybe time for a road trip. If you go let me know, would love to buy you a beer or 2.

RE: A Pine Bench ca. 1940

At that thickness I think you will be fine. Consider thermally modified wood for exterior use. We are starting to use it and so far we are happy. Need more experience with it. There are many people selling it if you google it. Here is one vendor.

RE: A Pine Bench ca. 1940
Time less design and a fantastic model! Thanks for sharing.
What length bench and what wood are you thinking of using? I am thinking thin pine for the seat might be a bit springy to sit on. -
RE: Serpentine-front chest WIP
Great model. Are you detailing all of the internal construction elements?

RE: Adding and showing scribe to a component
As all my scribes are into walls or floors they do not really impact my model (they are really never seen) and I also try never to model anything out of context. I think my stuff should be drawn the way it is built. The section cut will tell the story and words are not needed. Really do not even need dashed lines.
Your example is very different. All through tenons need scribe added. Having that information in the materials list is a good place and then the model will look as it should when finished. A detail of the joint may be all that is needed.
Thanks for helping me think this through. -
Adding and showing scribe to a component
We add scribe to many things we make. Baseboard will typically have a 1/2" of scribe added, so 4" baseboard goes out at 4 1/2". counters add 1" to unfinished ends and so on. Sometime we even add feet to the length of a counter if our information for a room is incomplete. Cheaper to send it long then to remake!
Fillers are many times 6" or 12" wide to be ripped in the field as needed. These are many times just sent out even if they are not on the drawings.
My current call out on drawings is using words to denote when and where scribe is required.
I was wondering when people model is scribe considered and modeled and if so how do they model scribe?
If not in the model then layout or both?
Thanks

RE: Is it just me?
Working in architectural millwork we work with a lot of architect firms, some of the largest in the country. They all seem to have SketchUp, which is great as I can send them files, but almost all have no clue as to how to use the software and no desire. So that world seems to have no use for plugins. Personally I have almost all the plugins I think I need, but have new need.
I have purchased a toy CNC and I am try to decide on a workflow to get G code. Fusion 360 is free and might be an answer. So far not enjoying learning a new CAD software. Fabber seems to be a very interesting plugin and they easily integrate with VCarve.
For a hobby SKetchUp is costly. Fabber is subscription (oh joy) and VCarve is costly. Software costs alone for makers starting out can be an issue.
How about a robust and simple tool pathing plugin for G code and the or maybe built in to SketchUp like Fusion 360. -
RE: A Moxon-Style Vise
Fantastic vise!! So many useful and cool details. Oh, really nice presentation too.
Now I just changed my bike chain and cassette and still have the old chain and gears, Going to save them. -
RE: A Moxon-Style Vise
I have used "corian" for many things other than counter tops but not as a nut! Your texture should have told me what the material was. Is there a metal insert in the nut or are the threads to be cut into the "corian"? I need a small metal lathe to cut threads and turn some parts. Now to convince the wife...........
