As a designer. Really impressed with carpenters who knows drafting software aside from a skillfull wood works. Youre great!

[@kevingerald8286]

Thanks for this one. I found out most of it through trial and error but this was a nice clarification. Thanks

[@Jodyphotograph]

Brilliant! Always hated the grain going the wrong way. Thanks Alistar

[@Alastair_Freebird]

Glad it helped, thanks for commenting!

Dear Alistair,
Congratulation for your lessons and tips.

[@Alastair_Freebird]

I’m glad you like them!

Good info on the texture resizing etc cheers. Countless times I go to edit the position and there is no option in the drop down box. Thought it was just a loose wire in the program! 😊

I'm glad to hear it wasn't just me who started off confused about that!

Did you consider being a designer on websites such as skillshare? Since you're affected by c19. I'm not exactly sure how it works but the payment should be better than views by CZcams. Not as good as obviously the coffee membership your own website has but it might generate more traffic due to the userbase of skillshare being bigger.

I wonder is there an option defining material price tag and calculating total surface amount for piece of furniture?

[@Alastair_Freebird]

Yes this can all be done…. Any require some extensions. We can do it using the cabinetsense extension and cultist plus. More simple it might be doable with the opencutlist exrension

@@Alastair_Freebird Thanks, will try it.

That default colour is grey to me too and I’m not colour blind (at least that I know of!)

[@Alastair_Freebird]

I'm sure someone told me it was purple once and I was quick to doubt my eyes!
