Thank you gentlemen. I too like the woods together (got lucky there). I think the drawer pulls are too fat. Should have paid more attention to my Sketchup model!

Hey everyone- Just thought I's share my latest woodworking piece. A end table, made from quartersawn ash and bocote; a super dense, hard, and heavy wood from Mexico, which literally sinks in water. Lots of fun joinery details. Comments, criticisms welcome.
Thanks,
Michael

Very nice, Dave, and nicely proportioned. Why overlay doors? How would the case look if the doors were flush with the cse?
Best,
dh

I was going to sat the same thing! Seems inset doors would fit with the "formal" tone of the piece. But I like it quite a bit.

Cold is one thing, when it's cold enough to kill you, that's another. Good luck Dave, hope you make it through ok!

It'a very nice, and nice pictures. The thread title keeps making me think about a bear in the woods.

Happy New Year

now you need to model the presents!

the miter will be 45 if you move the surface up or down by the thickness of the material

touche!

Your image doesn't show up, but I think I can imagine what you're trying to do. As you said, drawing the 1st two miters is easy, but to do the second manually, you'll have to create a "cutter", extrude it along the edge, and then "intersect" it, clean up the result and that's it. Alternatively, there is the "Round Corner" plugin which also does miters/chamfers.
Good luck,
Michael

of course, no one mentioned that the table is facing the wrong way, but now i'm just nitpicking

Sorry for the poor image quality...still funny though!

Love it when even big companies retain a sense of humor!

I think we sorted the problem with the inferencing last night. It appears to be a case of an unresolvable inference. The line's direction is locked in the red direction and the cursor is placed on a face that would never intersect with the line no matter how long the line, not how big the face. This isn't a video card issue but as I told Michael last night, more like a divide-by-zero sort of thing.

I agree Dave, and thanks again. I only asked about the card specs to educate myself, and thought it might help with the other issue I was having; knowing right next to nothing is often problematic when dealing with computers!

Krisidious- Thanks. I'll really show my ignorance here. Which specification is the "1 gig" you refer to? Below are the specifications for this card. Thanks for the help.

I usually work with the precision to 1/64", after all, this is fine woodworking:). I tried changing it to 1/32 or 1/16, and I don't work with "snap" on. Didn't seem to make a difference either way. Something I didn't think to mention earlier, though perhaps it's related- occasionally when surfing the web, if I change web pages, part of the previous web page will briefly linger on the new web page until I scroll or move on that page. For example, if I'm doing a Google search, when I click on a link, part of the Google Search page (a few lines or a portion of the screen) will linger on the new page. Perhaps it's related?
Any help is appreciated...

I will, but unfortunately I'm late to leave my house- I'll do it tonight,Thanks!

hey Dave!- Yes, the red line goes off 180 degrees from where I'm trying to go. In the above example, I was trying to draw from the leg on the left to that on the right. You can see the red inferencing line going off to the left. If I orbit, or try again, it will usually try to do the right thing, but if I get close to another object, line, face, whatever, it will sometimes "jump away" again. I can usually get it to work after some coaxing, but it often takes more work than I would like, and it can make precise work frustrating. Haven't heard anyone else mention it, so my first thought was lousy video card, but honestly, I know next to nothing about hardware.

and that's not good?

more big deck humor

Hey y'all- I have an issue where occasionally, if I'm zoomed in close, using the line tool, trying to inference to an existing face the inferencing line will shoot out in the completely opposite direction- it sometimes makes it impossible to inference. The last time this happened was on the model of a small stool, trying to draw a stretcher from one leg to another. I've attached a screen shot, I think you can see what I mean.
My computer has a relatively low grade NVIDIA GeoForce GT 520 card, but otherwise it's a decent machine for the work I do. Windows 7, 3.30GHz, 6.0 GB RAM. Would the video card be responsible for this? If so, how does a relatively computer illiterate guy like myself choose a wise upgrade for say $150.00 or so? Thanks for any help,
Michael

Also, a cleat along the back edge (and/or the front)could potentially help with sagging; though it might not be all that attractive.
