OK…it’s official, I going crazy not being able to get to the chair. I’m up to my ears in a project at work, designing some improvements to two fish hatcheries, and a major water treatment project, all interesting, but it doesn’t get any sanding done or another coat of oil on the chair. Then today we had 11 new windows and a slider delivered. My son-in-law and I start tomorrow….again no chair. My Mom 85 years old just got her 1st computer, at my suggestion, a month ago. So of course I had to set it all up for her….... and the hard drive fails. Back to Best Buy…very quick exchange…pleased with the service (luckily it was just under a month). Again…no chair. Fun to see my Mom sending my brother an email though….can you say cognitive dissonance?
So close and yet so far.
Oh well…here a presentation video I did that will be part of a future blog on FWW. I still can’t believe that FWW is paying ME for content.

Bob – how will this be used on FWW? Blog on design? CAD?

There are 3 of us doing a blog called Design, Click, Build. The focus is primarily Sketchup but I can also answer Autocad questions. I’ve been doing primarily Sketchup woodworking video tutorials. The next one will be using Sketchup for design presentation. If you subscribe to FWW online you can see them there. This is the least of reasons to subscribe to the online version. Extraordinary wealth of info…all the articles past and present in the magazine in PDF and lots of online extras. The other guys are very knowledgable as well.
If you don’t subscribe you can see them on Brightcove

Yes. Very cool. I didn’t know it was just three of you doing D,C,B. That much more impressive. Keep it up! I enjoy it a great deal.

Fancy…. Is that just scenes set to play one after the other?
How is the color coming in the sun?

Life has a way of getting too busy, that’s for sure. I was wondering why I haven’t seen any new postings on that great chair that you built. Congratulations, again on your work with FWW.

Yeah Giz…It’s just a straight Sketchup animation. I’ll be adding the steps to create it as part of the tutorial…I’ll also title it and add audio.
The color is great…it really brought out more depth. Very nice….the figure really shows. Thanks for the tip.
We got the slider all installed today. Just need to finish the interior trim. My son-in-law does nice work…who knew?
