Very nice clean model, thanks very much.

That's TIG with the memory. 😉

Yes, I did draw that table some time ago. I used a tile from Motawi in the center. It's a fun little table.

Your model looks pretty good, David. I did notice the top is a wee bit low on the legs. 😉

Excellent!

I'm such a nit picker. 😄

I've done SketchUp models and full construction plans for about half a dozen of Chris Becksvoort's pieces. He definitely has a way with the Shaker style.

Hi Dave R,
Thank you for asking why the file is so BIG...
I think it could be linked to Intersect faces with Selection ❓
This is what I did to find the section line between two selected objects.
It could be some hidden geometry added.
I have to inspect the model... ❗

Probably has to do with periodic server backups or something equally mystical. 😄

Seizeneufrato and Micione,
Lovely construction, with nice detailing on the arms, and a very interesting abstract.
Thanks for sharing.
Best,

Good catch, Jean-Franco. It shows a minor shortcoming with the original plan. The front and part of the sides of the lower case have an applied molding along the bottom. The plan calls for the molding to be made from a 1-in. x 1/8-in. piece. But that molding interferes with the way the legs fit into the case. So for the purpose of the model, I decided to ignore the bad fit. If I were building the highboy for real, I'd add thin pieces around the blocks where the legs fit.

And thanks, John Msrk Power, for the nice words about the escutcheons. I modeled them after drop pulls offered by Horton Brasses. They were the closest I could find to the ones sketched in Margon's plan.

Compare the overall pixel count (width & height) both in the jpg and in PS.

Don't be too hard on my good friend Dave R. His comments are always well-intentioned and most helpful. No worry that he'll give me a complex of any kind. (My Napoleon complex is a pre-existing condition.)

Thanks, everyone.

I understand about the unique leg now. A close look that the crossing of the two stretchers is revealing. 😄

Almost like real woodwork.. 😄

I get a similar problem at times on my Mac at work, an aging machine. I think it's a graphics card issue, occasionally I get relief by changing the open GL settings.

Dave,
I can always count on your having a well-focused eye. Many thanks for the constructive suggestions.

Jim,
Many thanks for taking the time to look at the model so closely. Good points to remember for future modeling.

Morton,
I neglected to thank you for the compliment. I'm glad you liked the modeling.

Very nice work David.

Keep it up.

Thanks, dedmin, problem solved.

Thanks, all. Dave R's method has the advantage of being quick and requiring less cleanup at the end.
