Here's a link to the Blum Technical data sheets. The tandem slides and details are there I believe.

I don't think there are Cad or any skp. files though.
Hope it helps.
Awesome dale. Thank you so much. I can easily draw my own I just wasn't able to find the dimensions.
Thank you. I appreciate it.

Hello everyone. I am currently helping a friend design an insert for an old entertainment center to convert it into a bar. Does anyone have either a source for sketchup blum tandem slides or happen to have their layout dimensions handy so I can draw them up myself. I am having little luck finding dimensions on the web.
Thank you so much for any help you can give me.
Jeff
This is great. I have also pointed a friend to it as well since it has a wealth of knowledge.
Great stuff!
whistles That is beautiful.
Thank you for sharing these...I absolutely it.
Jeff
Same guy...and there are alot of them. Check out the link on the bottom of the post.
Enjoy. I laughed so hard my stomach was cramping up.
Disguised Weapons

**** Disguisable weapons wanted ****
Wanted: hidden blades, belt buckle knives, cane swords, etc.....
Offering: cash, items for barter
From Me to **********@***********.org:
Hey,
I saw your ad looking for concealable/disguised weapons. I have several fine-crafted items you may be interested in. Respond if you are interested and I will send you pictures and prices.
Thanks,
Mike
From Jeff ****** to Me:
I am. lets see what you got.
From Me to Jeff ******:
Jeff,
Here you go:
Looks like a normal spoon, right?
Wrong. It is actually a deadly 2.5" half-smooth, half-serrated knife with tactical grip. One minute you are enjoying a bowl of cereal, and the next you are fighting off attackers with this deadly and disguised weapon.
I am asking $50 for the blade. Let me know if you want to stop by and take a look at it.
Mike
From Jeff ****** to Me:
that is stupid as hell and looks like crap. unless you have anything better to offer, dont waste my time.
From Me to Jeff ******:
Jeff,
I am sorry you feel that way about the spoon blade. I do have some other weapons that I think you will feel differently about.
Mike
From Jeff ****** to Me:
fine. but if it is another knife duct taped to a spoon then you can f*** off.
From Me to Jeff ******:
Jeff,
Thank you for re-considering. Here are three quality disguised weapons that I think you will love:
At first glance, this looks like a normal party cup. However, if you look close enough, you will see that it is really a fully automatic Glock 18C. You will be able to pour your enemies a nice warm cup of lead with this fine purchase. Asking $900 for the gun/cup combo.
Still thirsty for justice? Try this badass M16A2 disguised as a 24-pack of soda. The box has two finely crafted holes on each side to allow for any kind of optics (not included) that you wish to attach. This weapon is only for sale if you have a Class III permit.
This cleverly disguised weapon may look like a tissue box, but is actually a Benelli M3 12 gauge shotgun disguised as a tissue box. The ultra-soft quilted tissues serve as a comfortable grip on the pump-action shotgun. Also, if you find yourself sneezing during the heat of combat, you will have a handy tissue box ready for action. Asking $1500 for the weapon. Additional tissue boxes are an extra $5 per box.
Let me know if you want any of these items.
Thanks,
Mike
From Jeff ****** to Me:
youre a fing dumbass, sbrained, awipe, retarded dip****. you prob walk around with that s* too you dumb mother er. I hope you get hit by a car. f off, eat s**, and die.

Operation: Soccer Escort

I am in need of a reliable and SAFE driver to take my 10-year-old daughter home from after-school soccer practice starting in September and ending in late November. She needs to be taken from school in Exton to home in Bryn Mawr. It should take about an hour each day. You will be needed Mon, Tues, Thurs, and Fri. Looking for a safe driver with a clean driving record. E-mail at ***********@comcast.net with references. We can discuss compensation. Thanks!
From Me to ************@comcast.net
Good afternoon.
My name is Mike Partlow and I am very interested in this job. I have a lot of experience driving under dangerous conditions and guarantee your daughter will arrive safely at home every day.
If you are still looking for a dependable driver, please write back.
Sincerely,
Mike Partlow
From Kate ******** to Me
Mr. Partlow (can I call you Mike?),
I still am looking for a driver. Good to know you can handle dangerous conditions...but there probably will not be any dangerous conditions; you are just taking my daughter down Rt 3.
Tell me about yourself - are you a professional driver? Do you have any references from past jobs? What kind of car do you own? Is it reliable?
From Me to Kate ********
Kate,
You can call me Mike. I was never one for formalities.
A little about myself, I am 37 years old, and worked as a mercenary driver in the Middle East. I have escorted important clients through high-risk areas in Iraq and Afghanistan for five years. I have seen a lot of action, and have ensured the safety of my clients. Out of all the jobs I have done, 90% of my clients arrived at their destination unharmed.
I have several references. I'll have one of them e-mail you.
My car is very safe and reliable - perfect for your daughter. It is an armored 2007 Chevy Suburban. All glass has been replaced with multi-layered ballistic glass capable of stopping a 7.62 x 39 bullet dead in its tracks. The doors, roof, and floor have been reinforced with ballistic steel/composite that can withstand IED blasts and stop grenade fragmentation. This car has been put to the test and will always deliver.
Safety and protection is my #1 priority. The car is fully loaded with an HK416 assault rifle that fire under the toughest conditions. The roof has a 40mm MK-19 automatic grenade launcher turret installed. Hopefully we won't have to use it, but it is good to have. I can't tell you how many times I've had to return fire against an enemy APC. I assure you that nobody will mess with your daughter as I escort her home from soccer practice.
Now lets discuss pay. I have various security packages I offer, and for your daughter I recommend my medium package which will run you $200 an hour. I also have a minimal package which is only $125 an hour. It is entirely up to you.
Let me know,
Mike Partlow
From Kate ******** to Me
This has to be a joke. This isnt Bagdad, it's suburban PA...
Are you just being sarcastic? What do you really drive? I want to pay 30 bucks a day, tops.
From Me to Kate ********
Kate,
Safety/protection is no joke. For $30, you are likely to get some 17-year-old kid who just got his license and will drive your daughter in his unarmored Ford Focus. I've seen an IED blow a Ford Focus into thousands of pieces, none larger than a golf ball.
My security package is well worth the $200 per trip. We will pick your daughter up in a random Suburban. Four trucks will pull up, and she will get into a random one every day. This is so the enemy does not know which one to attack. The Suburban she is in will have an armed security detail of men I have worked with in Iraq. We know what we are doing. She will be escorted in our convoy down the highway at a high rate of speed to avoid stopping in "kill zones." All vehicles are equipped with an MIRT which is used to change the traffic lights to green so we will not have to slow down. Your daughter will arrive safely in your arms no later than 20 minutes from when she is extracted from the soccer field.
Please reconsider my offer. You can't put a price on your daughter's safety.
From Kate ******** to Me
Stop wasting my time. Don't e-mail me again.
(later, from another e-mail account)
From Nick Walken to Kate **********
Dear Kate,
I am an old client of Mike Partlow. He told me that you wanted a reference for a job you are considering him for. Let me start off by saying, you could not have made a finer choice. Mike is the best there is. He literally saved my life countless times in Iraq. Whatever you are using him for, you have made the right choice. You will be 100% safe.
When I think about my experience Mike, one time stands above the rest. Back in 2005, I was a contractor in Iraq and had hired Mike's security detail to escort me through Fallujah. Everything was going fine until our convoy was hit by an IED. I don't remember much, but next thing you know, I woke up in a Republican Guard prisoner camp with Mike. I thought we were goners. They took me and Mike into a hut, where there were at least eight armed soldiers placing bets. They were going to make Mike and I play Russian Roulette. Mike convinced a soldier to let him play with three bullets, instead of one, which I thought was crazy. Mike even put the gun to his head once and pulled the trigger. He started laughing, and the soldiers started laughing too. When they let their guard down, he immediately shot three of them in the head, grabbed one of their AKs, and gunned down the other five soldiers. I didn't think we would make it out of that one alive, but thanks to Mike's heroic actions, I am here today.
You cannot go wrong with Mike Partlow. He is the best of the best. One time he killed an entire truck of insurgents using just a fork from his salad. He makes do with what he has and will survive the worst of situations.
If you have any more questions about Mike, please don't hesitate to contact me. I owe the man my life.
Nick

I'm with everyone on the second one. It's close but missing some of the magic of the first. Don't get me wrong it's still beautiful...just missing something.
Oh...and the ground material looks alittle flat. Needs a little variation between the grout and the pavers.
Keep em coming! I love seeing these.

Ahaaa...that is how you transfer all that detail. Very smart. I can see that saving an great deal of time. I think I will use that one in the future.
Looking great as always dolphus.
Excellent! You and sketchnl have the perfect signature style. Am I to guess that you have a firm together. If so...this new style you guys have is an incredible representation for the company. Very nice indeed.
Cheers!
Jeff
It sounds like to me that they lost a very talented worker and they are trying to fill that person's shoe's without realizing just how valuable that person was. "Oh...so and so knew all this...the next person should too."
That is my impression anyway.
Very nice once again. Just a side comment...that maybe one of the best tv's I've seen rendered yet.
Always a joy to see your work.
I absolutely love it as well. Fantastic illustration style! The composition is sooo good that you don't even notice until you look for it. This style is an absolute winner...I would love to see other work you do with the same style.
Thank you for sharing this...this is easily at the top of my list of favorite work I've seen here.
Oh wow tallbridgeguy. That is a fantastic use for the plug in. Great render!
You had me at hockey. Where is this project at? First thing I see is that on the side of the seating section your geometry is still on the side. (where it is gray and red striped) You can reduce the geometry by erasing those lines that will not be seen in final model. Will help the model to continue to be manageable as it continues to become more and more complex. The other thing is if each of those sections around the end boards radius have similiar seating you can make it either a group or a component and array it around the curve. Then just make the minor adjustments on each section instead of having to build each from scratch.
I love it. Especially the that little step in the counter over the bar...that is a great detail. I also really like how you "framed" the ovens with the white cabinetry. Hope you will share a picture with walls painted if you can. Violet and wenge make for a magnificent combination. Thanks for sharing these. It like learning from the masters for me in my new job.
ohhh...i like it. It certainly highlights it...without a doubt.
I know you are excited about the plug-in...but jeesh!
I agree with not hanging the pendant there. However I disagree with the overexposure part...yes it may be a bit overexposed...but I really like it. It is very dramatic and has alot of visual movement. Bravo sir!
