Re: Component Insertion

Hi David,

Nice work.

To quickly find the middle / center of a rectangle, square, cube or block, I draw a diagonal line and then find its mid point.

For cylinders, I draw a line from a quadrant - say 3 o'clock at one end, to the opposite quadrant - 9 o'clock, at the other end.

Cheers

Hi Dave,

I found the quickest way of locating the middle / center point of a square, rectangle, cube or block is to draw a diagonal line and pick its mid point.

For cylinders, draw a line from the 3 o'clock quadrant at one end, to the 9 o'clock quadrant at the other end, then pick its mid point.

Cheers

p.s. I would like to know your soft shadow method.

Re: Dovetailed drawers are overrated

I'm not sure you understand. This is not a standoff about which joint where!

A woodworker cuts dovetails because he feels the joint requires them, or he wishes to have a joint that is pleasing to the eye. If he didn't think so, he'd do the joint differently. Why the superfluos argument?
