Re: My redesigned Shop

Your hardware in the glass jars suspended above remind me of my grandfather's basement shop. He had a similar way to keep small hardware, only (I can't tell from the photo if you do this or not) his were on a 4" square post which rotated, kind of like a horizontal lazy susan. He had jars on all four sides of the rotating post. I've always wanted to do that.

Re: Fine Woodworking on the David Letterman Show

Excellent and entertaining interview. Love the deadpan humor and found it interesting that Mr. Offerman has done a lot of the same things I have, woodworking-wise. Props, set construction, and even (my first foray into the world of woodworking) a couple of canoes from the very same canoe making book, Canoecraft. Hmm... maybe I should move to LA and take up acting.

Re: Numbers on a Clock Face -- Preparing 3D Text for Use

Dave,

Thanks for the reply. I'd really love it if you blogged about the plugins you find most useful -- again, even if it was just an overarching blog simply naming the tools and briefly defining what they do. Links to archived blogs you've written on the subject of loading plugins or tools you find useful would also be swell, to use biscuit joinery terminology.

Re: Numbers on a Clock Face -- Preparing 3D Text for Use

David,

I, too, find your tutorials very useful. I do have two questions, however. First, is there any info on DCB or elsewhere written for someone such as me,an admittedly slow learner (although I'm up and running in Sketchup) for how to load plugins? I mean a foolproof, even-a-child-could-follow-these-directions sort of guide, not a "go to Google's plugins and load them into Sketchup" sort of guide. And second, I notice in your tutorials that you have a ton of undoubtedly cool tools (plugins, mainly?) that I don't know about on your toolbar. I'd love to have either a list of the tools (plugins) you have which you find useful, or a tutorial that would name the tools (not necessarily showing how to use them). If you have the time, of course.
