It's a jewelry box. I know the guy who made them. I could put you in touch with him to see if he'd still make them. I worked for him one summer when I was in Fine Art school. I bet we made about 500 jewelry boxes of various sizes. I have the one I made this drawing from. It's made of a wood called padauk which turns a beautiful dark red like this. Your wife probably does need one.

Wow - thanks for posting that Dave! It's a great idea for an exercise!!!

Gerard Michel RULES !

It's not as good as your smiley.

$4 million for a temporary solution sounds like a lot of money. May be earthquake resistant but a flood will surely soak and soggy the cardboard tubes,if I remember correctly the last earthquake came bundled with floods.

I want one.

@Roger.

No. The clashes are almost all so unexpected and subtle it'd be difficult. Where a script rewrites a base class method it's easy BUT if someone rewrites say progressbar 'that's left dangling' within there own poorly structured code until it breaks a tool using the 'real' progressbar it's hard to prevent... There are a few - like SketchyPhysics that has an occasional clash with say Mirror.rb because it seems to be doing something to mess with the 'Sketchup::Group' class - I still haven' tracked down to a satisfactory conclusion There is an informal list of 'bad' scripts than should be avoided and others with recoded parts to avoid problems, but I really can't see how we can automate it - reading through a script to find what it's doing is sometimes difficult as it is, let alone passing the task over to 'code'....

Yes, you do, Rich. @mitcorb said: "...those who tried." Yeah, I can be trying at times. My wife tells me I am, too.

Gerrit, That is a really slick solution. It amazes me at how the generic toolset can accomplish just about anything you want. Thanks, a very insightful set of postings.

@dave r said: I don't know know where he gets this stuff. Emo Philips. Some others: "I love to go down to the playground, and watch the kids running and jumping and screaming. They don't know I'm only shooting blanks." "Today I came home and someone had replaced all my possessions with identical copies". "My parents taught me how to swim the hard way, I thought I'd never get out of that sack." "Most kids get a rubber duck to play with in the bathtub, all I got was the toaster." When I was a child, my parents told me "Don't go near the cellar door you can play anywhere else you like but don't go near the cellar door. One day, when they were gone I went to the cellar door and I opened it and I saw things, things I'd never seen before....trees, and grass, and the sky...

Perhaps. Until yesterday I didn't know what that bite on my arm was from.

I really love the classic cartography symbols. Such art!

.... I see there are some 'sparks' flying in this thread

It looks cool. I'll have to take a look at it.

That's brilliant

No wonder! And I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket.

Vote 1 for 1! I like the cleanliness of it, I find images that are too dirty to distract from the cause - showing the subject.
