Actually, it looks like this process of theatre design in SketchUp, as well as my personal workflow is a presentation I will be giving at Basecamp this year.

That is one I would like to see, I hope it gets recorded and posted in the forum.

Excellent!
Great stuff
Were there any acrobatics or bed jumping included in this one?
Ha! It’s a play called “4:05”. It’s about nine couples who find themselves awake at 4:05 am for various reasons. It’s a comedy.
The beds are all air mattresses, so here’s hoping they last. My 5 year old son has been treating them like a trampoline park all week, jumping from the top left bed down onto the bottom one and then off the stage into the orchestra pit.

Still in super-busy theatre land up here, so not so much playing lately. Mostly work.
I made the model because I was originally going to have to build and upholster the seats, but then it occurred to me that I could get a similar enough effect with some second hand boat seats, and this is vacationland after all. The model was instrumental in keeping the minion on point though.

I should really take the time to make a customised silhouette…
I’ll add it to the todolist.

That cushion looks like it may have come from a pontoon boat.

Awesome stuff. But I’m droooooling over that SawStop! Is this the shop that’s going into the barn project?
No, this shop will stay intact. I’m actually in Maine for the next few months, the barn is in Wisconsin.
Though you can keep drooling. The barn is getting a sawbstop of it’s very own.

Double SawStop! I will keep drooling. Hopefully you’ll share pics of that… and I guess all of this cool stuff you’re making too!
I fully believe in the importance of SawStops. They are more than worth people getting to keep their fingers.

The Sawstop is a really good saw. There was one at a woodworking show taken apart so you can see its guts. Very beefy. They are a pleasure to use. The down side is you have to find a different tool to cut your hotdogs!
