Definately count me in. Although it's a bit far, if I can get a lift from Stockport with Brad & co that will help.

Steve,

Do you want the projector for the Sketchup demo again?

regards

Brian

 

[Steve Maskery]

That would be good, yes, thank you. I'm just wondering, though, if it's going to be all the Usual Suspects, if there is any pointin replicating Brad's bash demo. I don't mind doing so, but I don't want to bore people rigid!

I could model something different, perhaps. Maybe the Cheval Mirror that Nick is currently featuring in BW.

I'll have to have a think.

To be honest Steve, I think that the guys (like me) who would benefit from a Sketchup demo really need to start from the beginning.

Something like a basic sideboard with doors and drawers would be perfect, with tips on how then to make the whole thing a bit wider, taller, or narrower.

There seem to be a lot of pro guys coming to the bash who could really do with some practical advice on how to knock up a decent 3-d sketch of a cabinet in order to clinch a sale.

As far as I can tell, most of us still use a paper and pencil because we've never had the time or patience to get to grips with Sketchup.

Bezier curves are all well and good, but how to model a kitchen cabinet would be far more useful.


Cheers
Brad

Another vote here for the basics. I have dabbled with sketchup but cant seem to get the hang of it.

[Modernist]

If I'm back from hols I could bring a box of interesting planes for people to try.

LN 140 LH Iron
LN 4 1/2
LN 62 with 30 and 45 deg blades
LN 60 1/2
Veritas Scraper Plane
Veritas Bull Nose
Ulmia wooden Smoother
Ulmia wooden shoulder
Stanley Side rebate

And maybe Veritas Sharpening kit and waterstone if anyone's interested.

 

[Karl]

Same here - i've spent a couple of hours faffing around with it, and got nowhere. Hence all my drawings of potential projects on here are scanned copies of actual drawings.

Cheers

That would be good Brian hope your back from holiday in time. I only have some old fettled stanleys and a couple with electric tails :shock: and would like to try some premium wares.

This is the kind of thing I'm talking about

Cheers
Brad

 

[Steve Maskery]

That's helpful, guys. I'll work on a presentation based on that sideboard, then, shall I? I'll change it a bit (there isn't a curve on it, for example) but I'll use it as a base.

Unless anyone has an even better idea, of course.

Cheers
Steve

PS Brian, have you got all those Plugins installed from last time?

 

[brianhabby]

Yes I think they are still on there. To be honest, when I play with Sketchup it tends to be on my desktop PC with a much bigger screen. I'll check the lappy tomorrow (it's at work right now).

We are planning a holiday around that time and I've talked SWMBO into spending it in Lincolnshire :lol:

I could bring my "semi" fettled say set records 4+6, would be nice to see how they compare, and to see how much more fettling they need!

Just a thought...


...has anyone asked Charley if he'd like to come? He lives thereabouts, I'm sure.

Or does he never reveal himself, like his namesake with the Angels?
