Re: Thomas Jefferson's Campeche Chair
Tim,
posted: 11:12 pm on March 18thYour chair article is interesting for two reasons. First, it looks easy to build. Secondly, it is a great project to better learn sketchup. I consider myself a novice with SU; but every time that I can find a way to apply a new technique, it helps me learn. I was able to apply three new techniques for this project. First, how to import images. Second, how to scale. Third, how to use the plug-in "bezierspline.rb".
The SU model that I made comes out to exactly your dimensions. With a handheld calculator, just divide the "known" dimension by the "SU start" dimension. The answer will be either so many times larger or a fractional times smaller.
From member comments, I see attaching the leather and drilling the actual mortise holes may still be a problem. Nontheless, thank you for your article.
