Just a Little Doodle From Last Night

[SketchUp Guru]

Thought I'd share something I drew up last night.

This is the drawing board L. Francis Herreshoff designed and used for drawing the lines for many of the boats he drew. I think it makes for a very interesting design. The single shallow drawer can be opened from either side and runs on the arms below it. The disks at the ends of the arms are applied pieces. Between them and the legs of the table, the drawer is guided in an out. The drawer is fairly shallow with the 1/4" plywood bottom being supported by some rails running front to back beneath.

Dave,

I am surprised you don't get into trouble drawing on the napkin instead of eating your dinner. :roll:

Very nice work, you do make this look very easy. =D>

It's hard to draw and not get caught. SWMBO won't let me have a clean napkin either. :lol:

Thank you. It really isn't very difficult.

Nice work, as always, Dave. I think that being able to access the drawer from both sides of the table is an excellent feature of the design.

...Do you ever have any time for real woodwork?!

Thank you. I agree.

...Do you ever have any time for real woodwork?!

Not much. I do have a lot of projects lined up when I do eventually get time. I keep adding to the list though. :roll:
