Hey CJ. As far as I know, you can’t really print directly from a SketchUp model. Its a model in 3D space and those tabs at the top are just pre-defined views of the model. So what you need to do is go to File, then Export, then 2D Grapic. That will allow you to have a jpg of the image that’s on the screen. You can then print that image as usual.

I have a finishing question. I was in the live finishing chatroom and I’m pretty clueless when it comes to finishing. Is the Poly-acrylic you use different from polyurethane? I assume so because poly urethane is oil and resin and stuff, right. Is it different from an acrylic lacquer? Like I said Im pretty clueless when it comes to finishes so everything I said may be totally wrong.
thanks,
jdog

Since the holiday season is once again right around the corner …

I have been thinking that by taking the ‘magazine rack’ design, increasing the “V” angle to one the is much more open or obtuse and, maybe, beefing it up a little, that it would make a nice book/Bible holder/display stand.

I’m thinking of using either my jig saw or band saw angled at 40 degrees to cut the slots in the legs. I don’t have a thin kerf blade in/for the table saw so the grain won’t line up as nicely as it does naturally if I rip the legs and then cut the slots. Should be able to cut the two primary outside cuts for the slot and then nibble the rest out.

Ha Ha That’s great! Perhaps I can rest easy now that you gave me a time line, no more avoiding homework :(

And I keep checking my comments thinking, “Oh man…..when is Demowen going to post another comment??” ;)

Actually, the next holiday project will be out early this week. So the wait will not be all that long. :) Thanks for your enthusiasm.

I feel like such a loser, I must check this site about 4 times a day, just waiting for that icon that says “All Videos(107)” to magically appear into “All Videos(108)”… Sigh

That edge ads a nice touch!

Well, the only problem there is you need to be a member of the forum in order to post. On the blog, anyone can throw a quick comment in. And a blog without comments kinda feels like birdseye maple with no birdseyes. :)

Originally, I thought the forum would be a simple extension of this blog, where people could get into these discussions in more depth. But I soon realized that the forum really has a life of its own. And my shows are rarely a topic of conversation. Woodworking in general is really the focus there. So I wouldn’t worry too much about missing episode-specific information if you don’t feel like checking the forum. Having the comments directly attached to the video is a pretty valuable thing. But I do see the need to NOT allow comments on both websites. I just have to figure out a simple way to get people form TheWoodWhisperer.tv to the appropriate post at TheWoodWhisperer.com, where I would prefer the comments reside. I might just put a simple link at the end of the show notes, and remove the ability to actually comment over there.
