...
I may try SketchUp (motivated by the recent "How To Design Furniture"
publication



I made, virtually with SketchUp, the first workbench I was thinking about
building.
I posted 3 pdf files (front, side, bottom) in the thread Second SketchUp at
the usenet
group a.b.p.w.

The dimensions are 30" by 30" by 7'. Please let me know what comments you
may
have about the design, from what you can see.

My first thought is that I need to make the top a little longer than the
base so I can get in
one of those "reinforcing pieces" on each end (to better support the top).
By the way,
doing this exercise generated a number of questions in my mind (which is a
good thing!).

Any thoughts welcome!
Thanks,
Bill
