I'm making a book case for a Talmudic scholar and in order to enhance the model I made this component. It looks pretty good on the Mahagony shelves. At first I used the book component in the Architecture component library but it didn't have the right feel so I made this one.
Hope you like it and/or can use it.
Welcome aboard fellow woodworker.
How about posting some pictures of your work? The SU models and the pieces made from them.

I thought of a dancing domino with no spots
Nice tut.
The spots fell off when he was gettin jiggy wid it 
This one is for a specific glass statue by Lucio Bubbaco.
It's physics enabled.
Hope you find it useful.
And here's part 2...
I think I first saw this technique in one of Jean's tutorials, or maybe Eric's.
I'm gratefull to hwo-ever it was as I use this technique often.
OK, I couldn't figure out how to upload and attach the video tutorial I made with Camtasia so I decided to upload it the old fashioned way.
Hope you find it useful.
To be continued...
Welcome aboard
That sounds like a nice little program indeed. I'd like to hear more about it.

I'll be popping in from time to time asking seemingly stupid questions
A very wise man once told me that the only stupid question is the one you didn't ask, and it wasn't the question that was being stupid.
Welcome aboard.
Excellent, Bruce. Thank you for sharing.
I'd bought a light weight gazebo made of snap together aluminium piping with a white plastic fabric cover a month ago that we used on a family picnic on the shores of the Sea of Galilee near Capernium.
It's a cheap and flimsy thing but it does provide a 3 meter by 3 meter patch of much needed shade.
So anyway, I thought I'd model the thing just to pass the time till my roast beef is done.
You can find the model here:

Beautifull work! I could have used it with the library I modeled a little while ago.
On the other hand, it would have made my library look shaby in comparison.

Gidon - Thank you very much. I've been looking for just such a bookshelf design for my own home - c 1890 - for some time. It fits with other cupboards I already have. Love the ladder and the little stool.
Where did the inspiration come from?
The inspiration came from a library I saw in Jerusalem at the home of a friend of the family who collects rare books, so that I cannot really take credit for the design.
Ross, the unit will be made of Mahagony, mostly veneer on MDF with solid Mahagony parts where needed.
And may I take this opportunity to thank you, Ross, for all that I have learned from you. Your contribution to my SU education through tutorials and tips is immeasurable.
I cannot thank you enough.
Hi y'all,
This is a display unit for a shop I'm working on that's built to look like a library.
Many thanks to Ron for his priceless moldings collection.
I hope you find it useful.
Cheers
Gidon

Now: Great little bench! Thanks for sharing.
What would be the yellow wood (or is all veneered laminate)?
.
That's not one of you trees?!? Are you sure?
Hmmmmmmm!
Anyway, the bench is constructed of a steel framework with Maple and Ipea.
Hi everyone,
This is a unit I modeled as a proposal for a seating unit (one of twelve) for a shopping mall.
Many thanks to Tom for the numerous trees shrubs he has so generously shared. I'm sure many of us have benefitted greatly from the friuts of his efforts.
Beautiful work and presentation.
Happy Independence Day!
I absolutely love that open book.
I think I'll model a book-mark. 
I've made a little tutorial that shows how I would use the follow me tool to create this kind of shape. The dimmensions are nowhere near what those of the actual phone are. I am trying to explain the technique.
Now I just have to figure out how to upload the clip
