Still trying to learn SketchUp. Practice every day.

This is a music stand from around 1904

Nice piece Dave.

[designerstuart]

yes and a nice image, too.

may i ask what else you do that means you can be a global moderator and still learning SU?

i understand we are all still learning - but you must be excellent at something!

[boofredlay]

15 extra points to the person who can credit that quote.

[designerstuart]

i would guess it's someone similarly humble dismissively summing up their (probably brilliant) work... do i get 2 points for that?

[Dave R]

I guess it is really so obscure probably no one will get it. It's from an old British sitcom called The Good Life. I don't think you could say she was summing up her brilliant work, though. I'll give you the points for playing.

[designerstuart]

i like that show - in fact i live about 5 miles from the town it was made in (surbiton)
i enjoyed the challenge tho!

[Dave R]

Do you remember Margo's pottery shed?

I've always had a crush on Barbara.

Dear David,

A little trip down memory lane.

Felicity Kendal was a bit of a pin-up in her day, well, I thought so. She even had a rose named after her.

Best wishes,
Bob

Dear Bob,

Thank you for that. Last year I was able to watch the entire series on youtube thanks to that user. Unfortunately it looks like all but part 1 of the episodes have been removed. I suppose the Beeb didn't like it.

I agree with you about Felicity Kendal. I think the cast was amazing in that show. It never looked like they were acting.

[Bryan K]

That IS really nice. Great design and presentation. I really like your style and subjects.

[Dave R]

Bryan, thank you very much.

Here's a quick render test I tried this morning. I think the materials could tolerate a bit of adjustment but I kind of like the look.

And straight out of SketchUp.
