Well I had some time on my hands over here and my wife said she wanted me to make a medium sized hutch when I get back. She wanted it black with two doors and a wine rack in the center. She said she wanted BirdsEye maple on the top (guess im rubbing off on her she staring to know diff woods) The program only had cherry so i used that for visual effect. Google SketchUp is a pretty good program, I have not used anything else so I cant compare it. But i was able to produce this in about an hour after the tutorial. Be blessed all |

Michael
Nice work on the rendering. I like the look. I downloaded the program but have not given it a try but you have inspired me to give it a go. God bless and be safe

I like that design. Apparently I need to look at google more if they have applications like that.
In my opinion, when your wife starts asking for certain types of wood, you have reached the promised land.
You take care over there. | |

Looks good Michael!
That program looks really cool and I'm going to give it a shot as well.
I'm glad that you've got some free time over there to keep your sanity.
Take care and God bless!

I did not know such programs were available from google. Thanks for sharing the Hutch rendering and the capabilities of SketchUP.
Stay safe!

Michael, those renderings look nice. Since you only spent an hour playing with the software either it's pretty user friendly or you're pretty smart or both! 
I need to give that software a look-see myself.
Take care.

CPowell,,dont give me much that much credit, once you do the tutorial its quite easy. And i have to tell you that the design is not totaly mine. My wife sketched an idea of a couple things that she has seen and I put it all togeather (she would prob make a better designer than i would it would seem.
Woodguy thank for the props,,means a lot coming from you.

DL,
The hardest part of my four deployments is being from my family, my friends, my church, and my shop. But i look forward to getting back. It actually good to pull yourself from the situation sometimes so that you can re-think the whole operation.
Pete,
I will hold that to ou friend, a couple beers sounds great. Any word on getting your store? Be blessed friends. | |
