Re: Shop made grooving planes

Matt said: "but what in particular would you like to know about them?"

Everything!
Materials dimensions, sources, video demonstration of the steps in building, - EVERYTHING!

Matt said:"They weren't hard to make. I basically used the Krenov method and it only took me about 1 hour to get the pair done."

What's the Krenov method? I don't know what that is.

These are neat planes and it would be great to know more about them.

Did you make one to do the drawer bottom groove and the other to make a rabbet on the edge? I sort of looks like that in the photo.

So much to learn! So little time!

Re: Using the Shape Bender Plugin

Dave,
Thanks for this video demonstration. When I originally installed shape bender much difficulty was experienced. Your step by step demo got me going on the right track.

Thanks, once again.

Re: Seven Beginning Steps in SketchUp

Tim,

I heartily endorse your view, continuous use of SketchUp is essential. I learned to use SU, after a fashion, by watching the many video demonstrations available online, and through everyday practice. The demonstrations helped a lot, but without the daily practice I would never have achieved the abilities that I did.
I add this, without contributors like you and Dave, I would be stuck at a much lower level.
However, complications in my life kept me from using SU for a while, and I found myself struggling.
Yes, one must continue to keep the skills learned at a fine hone!

Regards,
Don

ps. I tried to find your domain, killenwood, but the 'web doesn't seem to have such an address.
