Another fine piece from Marcus (d12dozr), who you all know for his contributions to SketchUcation.
Here is a link to the Thread in case you haven't seen it. http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=383931#p383931
In my own experience, there is nothing more exciting than seeing something you envision come to life. It's a big undertaking, and I congratulate Marcus on bringing this little gem to life.

I added you to the "Thread for Fine Design" Marcus.
This is a real beauty, and must have been really exciting to open the box when it arrived.
A Fine accomplishment. You should be very proud.
Cheers

Damn Simon, You have a great gig!
Thanks.

Dale, would that be a Fender Coronado in that picture? Never played one, but drooled over them back in the day.

You nailed it. Discontinued in the early 70's. Typical Fender headstock. All other semi hollow bodies of the day had that blocky Gibson like headstock.
After John Lennon used his Epiphone Casino to record the White Album and Let it Be, semi hollows were all the rage, and it is said this was Fenders entry into that market.

Sure, rub salt in the old age wound

I have been playing all my life. Currently I have a 70's Martin D-28, a 1936 Dobro (wood, and a real gem), A Guild archtop, and a couple of acoustics I built. The neck actually got amputated from one during our recent move.
Still dabble in songwriting, but recently only instrumentals.
This Picture is of the longest running band I was in, Joshua Hill. Taken sometime in June of 69 according to the poorly scanned photo, during our country rock phase. (damn I'm old)

Classic! (and a great style)

A quote from the always quotable atomic physicist Niels Bohr:
" To think about the paradoxical truths of quantum mechanics is to think in images, because the only way to know anything about the invisible is to create an image of it that is by definition a human construct, a model, a half-truth trying to hint at the real truth."
He also collected cubist paintings by the likes of Picasso... thought provoking.

True, not really fine design. I hope I haven't rained on Dale's parade

Let it pour Rich.
Actually I have built the stair drawers many times. Don't know who originally thought of it, but it is a damn fine use of space.

I just added your image to my "Thread for Fine Design"
Hope you don't mind.

Truly fine design!

One of SketchUcation's contributors Richard designed these, and in keeping with the top quality of work he produces whether it is a set of design guidelines, or it appears handbags.

Catch the thread here.
This IMHO exemplifies fine design. Simple, well thought out, understated. Brilliant

Simon
This reminds me of a fellow from Ghana, Kane Kwei. I ran across him some time ago. (Thanks for the memory). I love his naive style. http://ghanacoffin.com/

I don't think this would just appeal to kids, in fact when I was a kid, we always had a puzzle going that anybody , family, neighbours, whoever, could sit and work on.
AS well in larger scale being applicable to the love kids have for fort building.
I see this as having a lot of appeal.
Great fun.
Congratulations

Or how about that Tim Thomas?

That was a tough choice. I tried to spoil my ballot, but in the end...

If the purpose is to stem population growth, then without a global agreement the point is moot. And since I fail to see for what other purpose allowing the state to have this control mechanism, I gotta say NO.
I can also predict that this would lead to a kind of profiling, on the states behalf, and I don't think the state should interfere with the natural evolution of the species. For better or for worse.
Oh no!!! What have I said!
Man Mike your a little **it disturber

Dave, Thanks for all your advice and wisdom. Dig in to that 12 year old bottle and enjoy!

cheffey, nice design. I really appreciate the use of natural daylighting. Can the empolyees utilize the green roof for coffee breaks?

That is a nice website that this links to Simon. Thanks.
Here is another gem gleaned from it.

I am currently working on a model where I am creating only components, and one of the little benefits I am finding is that I am modeling way more accurately. With my old method of rag tag collections of groups, non groups and components, it was easy to have, at some point, an inference snap that although it created a face, was slightly off. It seems to me much easier to catch these errors when you are creating components and therefore get a much more accurate final product.
