Is It Alright To Toot One's Own Horn?

Or maybe it's rude.

If it isn't rude, toot

love the wood rat, once i start a drawing a find it very hard to finish without making every single part into a component with the right texture, i think i should try and make an object like my bedrock plane 607?

dave did you ever do any work for F&C while Colin Eden Eaden was editor, im sure i saw a welsh dresser design similar to one on your blog?

Hi adidat,

Thank you. Although I've made a detailed drawing of the Wood Rat, that ain't it. It's a Router Boss. Lots more parts detailed on the router boss, too.

No, I've not done any drawing work for F&C although I would consider doing some if they contacted me.

 

[adidat]

sorry

in my defense they look very similar

[SketchUp Guru]

No worries.

By the way, which drawing of mine looked like the Welsh dresser?

 

[adidat]

it was the third one down on your blog, it was just presented in a very similar way

Ah. I see. That was one I drew up for Fine Woodworking Magazine. It was designed and built by Michael Pekovich. The exploded view is the SketchUp work that appeared in the magazine.

Congratulations Dave. Mind you I am not suprised with your mastery of Sketchup. I did like the description of you as a Sketchup rockstar! :lol: It is great to see you getting some credit for all your hard work. :wink:

 

[SketchUp Guru]

thank you, my friend.

The problem with "rockstar" status is that all too often rockstars go down in flames. Or they get old and look like Mick Jagger.

Very impressive Dave. When I tried Sketchup I got totally confused and went back to a pencil I'll have to have a closer look at your info on it?

Mick Jegger. You would look like that if yer mum used to lick yer lips and stick you to a window when she went into the shops, poor lad :roll:

He lives over here too. Smart cookie.. Got more cash than me too :mrgreen:

Very nice (if not to everybody's taste on this board, it appears) A&C display case.
Elegant simplicity (and well drawn too... )

Hi Dave

I have just downloaded Sketchup 8 and over the next few days will give it a try. To be honest, with paper and pencil my drawing skills are rubbish, so I will approach learning Sketchup with some trepidation!!

Have you produced any online tutorials for novices like me please?

Credit where it's due Dave, you are certainly due quite a bit from my perspective. You blow your Horn as much as you like. There'll be no complaints from me. =D> =D>
I don't remember any mention of the enormous amount of time you give freely to learners, but on second thoughts that's probably not a bad thing.

Dave, if anyone deserves a toot, or heck, a whole fanfare, it's you. When I get back to tackling SketchUp, the first place I will look is for your posts. More power to your mouse. =D>
