    Anyone For Mid-Century Modern

    This is my morning SketchUp exercise. Gotta keep practicing. Larry, you promised to hook me up with a guy...





    Looks like a good candidate for loose tenon joinery.

    I like this design, Dave. Has a sort of Danish feel to me, without being Danish Danish.

    Larry, I'd still like to talk with him.

    Thanks, Vaughn. I like the light feel of it.

    That would be kind of boring. I'm ready for a lively discussion. I suppose I might as well just talk to myself, then.

    I guess Mid Century Modern doesn't trip that many triggers but here's another piece I doodled out during lunch.

    I like it. Interesting. I need to design an entertainment center and it's just a bit too wide for 2 doors, and too narrow for 3, but 2 doors and some drawers might be very interesting.

    Anyone else get an early 70's "Better Homes and Gardens" vibe out of that piece?
    There's usually more than one way to do it...

    Thanks Brent. I've got a different base idea to try out under the case.

    Art, I guess that early 70s thing is kind of the idea. Or maybe even going back to the late 50s and the 60s.

    I found a place that does the hairpin steel legs that were popular back then. They want a pretty penny for them, too.
