Re: Mock up leads to a happy ending

There are many fine ways to mock up a piece, and I definitely find the effort worthwhile. If you get the dimensions or proportions wrong, it will displease you forever.

One really simple way to mock up a project is to use blue painters tape on a wall of your house to make a real size sketch of your design. It's not three dimensional, but it has helped me to judge the proper spacing of cabinet doors, the proper thickness of legs, rails, and stiles, and the appropriate overall size for the location.

For those of you (us) who are not proficient in sketch up, this is pretty reassuring technology.
