Re: jewelry wall cabinet

thanks! actually, the design came first- wanted the doors to be sort of "sexy", like a neckline. Got lucky with some beautiful walnut from Hearne

Re: Opening Gambits

I agree that it's good and necessary to "think outside the box." However, sometimes being different, or unique, or "weird", for it's own sake simply leads to a lot of junk. With all the references to Krenov recently, remember what he said about "design"? If I may loosely paraphrase, that one doesn't have to be all that inventive- it's more about caring and doing it well... I'm not trying to bash the above idea about innovation- but, in my opinion, it should be tempered by an appreciation of quality and caring.

Re: Dovetail Joints in SketchUp Made Easy

I've been fooling around with this on some small boxes and have run into some difficulties. Does anyone know if there is a minimum "overall length" that the plugin will accept? On my boxes (3 1/8" tall) the layout that is produced is too big

Re: Placing Components

Hi Dave- nice video, thanks. I have a question. How would you handle the situation where you want to save a component in your library for future use that has its axes different from the global axes, but you still will want to be able to flip along an axis? For example, in your 1st video you have the angled wall cupboard- suppose that were an angled table leg with joinery included,and you wanted to pull in 3 more and place them around a table. Would you then have to realign the coponents axis to match the global axis for the copying procedure, and then change it back yet again (before running CutList for example)?
Does that make sense? Thanks for your attention,
Michael
