I do have 3DS Max Design, hence the fact I was able to click on Export it to 3DSMax

Did you try to load the .vsp3d file in 3DS Max Design, saving then as .3DS classic for Autocad..?
Nice one, cheers, thats the step that was missing
Ok, opened 3DS Max Design, and I cannot find a way to load the .vsp3d file.
Its ok, found Civil View
I have no 3DS Max to simulate your scenario, however it's odd, that you can "Export to Civil View for 3ds Max Design" but this latter cannot handle the resulting file.
Maybe would you post this issue in the 3DS Autodesk forum..?
I was just trying to open the file, but you need to use the Civil View extension to import that kind of file. Which I have now done, and works

Here's What's New
NEW YORK (MainStreet) —Looking for a career change? If you have a knack for computer networking or a stomach for drawing blood, you might just be in luck. This month the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released some interesting facts and figures on 24 new occupations included in the government's 2010 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system, which classifies workers into job categories for the purpose of collecting, calculating or disseminating data. What makes these two dozen jobs "new" is how they're categorized in the 2010 SOC versus how they were categorized in the previous version of the SOC, released in 2000. For instance, some jobs have been broken off from broader occupations, while others are the result of multiple occupations from the 2000 SOC being merged into one.
To help you on your job search as the spring hiring season revs up, we've ranked the top 10 new occupations according to total employment numbers in May 2012. Read on to check out the list, plus the descriptions and average earnings for each according to the BLS.

Compound W Skin Tag Remover Review
Compound W Skin Tag Remover: The Right Choice For You?
Compound W Skin Tag remover is a liquid skin treatment solution that treats all types and sizes of skin tags. While it is not an entirely homeopathic formula, this formula takes full use of clinically proven natural ingredients to provide one of the safest and effective treatments for skin tags available.
This extra strength formula was made to work quickly to clear up skin tags in as little as two weeks. This is half the time that the average skin tag removal treatment takes without using a freeze method or a scalpel. The best part about Compound W is that it is the number one dermatologist recommended skin tag treatment in the United States.
- Comes with a convenient brush for quick and accurate application
- Low price point assures that it is affordable on any budget
- Offers a cheap, in home solution to a doctor visit
- Will not result in an unsightly scars or skin tone mismatches
- Only requires application twice daily
The Good
There is quite a bit of good to talk about when it comes to Compound W Skin Tag treatment solutions. First and foremost is obviously the price of the product. Where most other treatments will cost upwards of forty dollars, you can obtain the ten milliliter bottle of Compound W for as little as ten dollars. That is about a fifth of the cost of a doctor's copay, with none of the trouble of leaving your home.
Another great aspect of Compound W is that the formula uses a blend of powerful chemical and natural ingredients. This allows for an increased chance of the product working for more individuals and reduces the risks of adverse reactions to the product.
Unlike systemic products, Compound W is directly applied to the skin tag and does not require viral resistance to be built up before it begins to actually treat skin tags. It kills the skin tag directly, making it dry up and withering before falling off.
Yet another positive aspect of this product is the fact that it is an alternative to professional medicine. Aside from the money saved, you won't have to resort to cutting your skin or freezing the skin tag off. Compound W skin tag remover is also a very safe product to use and won't harm surrounding tissue like other products. This is the only at home treatment of skin tags that forms a protective film over the good skin while you target the skin tag.
Another great thing about this product is the fact that the ten milliliter bottle comes with enough of the formula to completely treat up to eight skin tags before you need to buy another bottle.
The Bad
One of the most disappointing parts about Compound W is that it does not come with a guarantee. Many companies, if not most, provide some sort of money back guarantee if their product does not work, but this is not one of them. However, this allows the company to significantly lower the price of their products. So, even if the product fails to treat the tag properly, you've only lost ten dollars.
Another disparaging feature of this product is the fact that you cannot apply the product everywhere. For example, you cannot apply this on the face because the chemicals in the product can damage your eyes and lead to some serious irritation. This is not the case with most 100% natural methods, however, it is also more effective than most.
Our verdict
When you get down to it, this product is as cheap as they come and has enough endorsements that should make anyone with skin tags try it out.
While this is not a 100% natural formula, it does use some of the same herbs and minerals contained in most homeopathic formulas in an attempt to get the best of both worlds. Compound W skin tag remover has been shown capable of removing skin tags as claimed, while leaving no skin damage behind. This product is well above average, and definitely worth trying.

well lol 10 yrs ago i was seven so i never thought now i would be so far away from home and my closest of friends over the years. i never thought i could be this close to my extended family members as i am now lol
everyone has been asked what do you see yourself doing 10 years from now
and what is it do you think you will want to do , well its been 10 years now
for a lot of you im sure has anything changed since then that maybe you didn't really see happening then?
for me i was wanting to be a writer but here i am going to collage learning things about computers i never really
thought about it or even wanted it just happened a few years ago there are other things yeah but thats one of the
things i thought i would be doing the writting i mean.
so has anything changed for any of you over the past 10 years that changed
what you saw yourself doing?
I'll be the one to protect you from your enemies and all your demons
I'll be the one to protect you from a will to survive and a voice of reason
I'll be the one to protect you from your enemies and your choices son
They're one in the same, I must isolate you...
Isolate and save you from yourself
well lol 10 yrs ago i was seven so i never thought now i would be so far away from home and my closest of friends over the years. i never thought i could be this close to my extended family members as i am now lol
I'm the best you'll ever have because i am that f*ing AMA-zing chic who can stand on her own d*n feet and becasue of you I am the Greatest Thank you so much SasuraiHell and Gwen
Well, after 10 years from now I'll probably be still studying! lol
"If you do not believe in yourself, hardwork is useless"
"Might Gai" from "Naruto"
Its ok holder, I'm old enough to answer the question... ^.^
Well ten years ago I was 15, on my way to my sweet 16.
I don't remember specifically being asked where I thought I would be in ten years, but Im sure I would not have guessed this would be it.
First of all I have two sons, and Im 25 (26 in less than 2 months)... My oldest son is going to be 7 next fall.... So I had my first kid early. If someone had told my almost 16 year old virgin ears, that on my 19th birhday I would be pregnant.... I woulda never believed it.
When I look at other aspects of my life however... I can see that very little has changed. I used to always try to get away with getting as much as I can, by doing as little as possible. I am still very much this way.
... Not Ever Again...
10 years ago I was 6...but still had big dreams. =D
I wanted to be a...fossil finder person. (XD Sorry I would butcher the actual word.)
Or even a marine biologist, but no that im older I want to be an animator of sorts and work with video games.
I never pictured myself being someone everyone was cool with either...
I also never saw myself failing any classes. X3
"You think you know me...? You have no idea."
Ten years ago I was 12 years old since my birthday is in 12 days, I was going on 13 years old, I remember that I didn't actually make any plans for the future. I just wanted to be grown up, independent woman, with lots of cool clothes. Mission accomplished for the most part.
Had fun with my childhood, graduated high school, did the whole college thing for awhile, Math class depressed me. And my boyfriend at the time wanted me to move with him to Kansas, so I dropped out of college and starting working as a security guard, which was easy pay.
I take care of myself now, got my own job that I have worked at for 3 years in a call center, even worked my way up to supervisor. Which I think supervisors actually do less work, its just getting people to listen you, and acting professional. However that enables me to have money to go shopping for new clothes all the time!

10 years ago I was 9 or 10... whatever
The only thing that has changed is my increase; sexual-hormonal-tension-towards-the-opposite-sex, and my young youthful anger problems [Blaming Game] that has turned into the game of self hate.
"I miss the days of being able to think straight"
10 years from now I can only hope I've popped out at least one "Be fruitful and multiply" baby
<o.o> I really hope I don't become a workaholic and turn away from my young-adult-angst-of-Candy-Cain-hill-love.
Gosh none of that sounded right.
10 years ago i was 16 madly inlove with someone who happened to have fathered my 7 year old child. and i didnt know then that sometimes rushing can be great it has it's down side. he got killed by a drunk driver.
looking now and seeing my son though it was tough being a single mom and putting myself through school i could say that i wouldnt change a thing. If i didnt get too serious then i wouldnt have my son. my perspective changed too instead of the me my world now i consider other's feelings too.

Knowing that visibility is key to safe driving, the experts at Marin Auto Glass ensure no flaw can be found in a car's glass parts. Vehicles with cracked back windows or windshields chipped by confused woodpeckers will roll out of their shop looking new again. The technicians also install tinted window film to ward off the sun. And if a client doesn't have the time to come to the shop, techs will show up for a home visit.
The Diamond Certified lube shop—which opened its work bays in 1987 and still employs techs who have been there for more than 20 years—houses bottles of Pennzoil Conventional ready for use during 10-minute engine injections. If desired, drivers can upgrade to synthetic oil for an additional charge.
Drawing on half a century of automotive service, Midas helps drivers to prolong vehicle vigor with factory-recommended maintenance services. Mechanics pop car hoods to perform oil changes with standard and temperature-durable full synthetic solutions, taking time to inspect belts, hoses, fluids, and the air conditioner's resident penguin. Armed with EPA- and CARB-complying catalytic converters, the staff helps to shrink harmful emissions during muffler and exhaust-system checks. Trained technicians augment brake services with lifetime guarantees and curate healthy, evenly worn tires with rotations or replacements from Falken, Cooper, Michelin, and BFGoodrich.
Owner and mechanic Victor Amaya brings a decade of experience to AmayaS' Auto Repair, where foreign and domestic cars can hop on a lift and forget their problems. Victor and his crew offer services that run the gamut from basic oil changes and tune-ups to replacements for finicky brakes, axles, and alternators. The technicians can also root out the causes of motor troubles and run diagnostics for the check-engine light, which typically illuminates when a good Samaritan leaves a cash prize under a car's hood.
The ASE-certified mechanics at A1 Imports Autoworks keep both foreign and domestic vehicles humming smoothly down thoroughfares. Helmed by JP Cadoux, a seasoned motorsports enthusiast with professional racing experience, the auto-savvy team of techs brings a love for all things automotive to every oil change and tune-up. The staff, which specializes in BMW rebuilds, skillfully cares for coaches of any make and model. For quick care, A1 also performs basic work such as oil changes in about 45 minutes, or approximately the time it takes to microwave, eat, and regret 15 Hot Pockets.
At 70 miles per hour, your tires are the only thing keeping you from skidding across the highway like a holiday sled. It's only fair that you keep them well maintained. That's where 76 Autocare comes in. Skilled 76 technicians can mount, rotate, and balance tires—and then teach them how to roll over for good measure. Clients can also supplement wheel services with dent removal, oil changes, or a swift system flush.

David Bomford, Director of Conservation, Museum of Fine Arts, HoustonCarlo Ginzburg, History, University of California, Los Angeles
"Connoisseurship: The Rembrandt Paradigm" and "Small Differences: Ekphrasis and Connoisseurship"
Tuesday, September 10, 2013Time
6:00 pm – 8:00 pm212.501.3019, email@example.com
David Bomford and Carlo Ginzburg will be coming to speak in the first of this year's Conservation Conversations on Tuesday, September 10, 2013. David Bomford will be discussing "Connoisseurship: The Rembrandt Paradigm," and Carlo Ginzburg will be speaking on "Small Differences: Ekphrasis and Connoisseurship."
Conservation Conversations are public research dialogues pairing a conservator and a professor and exemplifying the goal of "Cultures of Conservation," a five-year curricular initiative funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. For more information, visit www.bgc.bard.edu/research/initiatives/cultures-of.html.
David Bomford is Director of Conservation at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. He received his B.Sc. in Pure Chemistry and his M.Sc. in Organometallic Chemistry from the University of Sussex, UK. Prior to his current position, Bomford was Consultant to the Director of The Metropolitan Museum of Art; Acting Director of the J. Paul Getty Museum; and Assistant Restorer, Senior Restorer, and Head of the Registrar's Office and Art Handling Department at the National Gallery, London. His numerous curatorial and publication projects include the following exhibits and associated catalogues for the National Gallery, London: Art in the Making: Degas (2004); Art in the Making: Underdrawings in Renaissance Paintings (2002); Art in the Making: Impressionism (1990); Art in the Making: Italian Painting before 1400 (1989); and Art in the Making: Rembrandt (1988). Bomford was Slade Professor at Oxford in 1996-7, the first conservator to hold this appointment.
The long history of fluctuating Rembrandt attributions seems to represent old-style classic connoisseurship at work; however, Rembrandt scholarship has also produced one of the most sustained exercises in new-style technical art history yet undertaken, and this has led to a whole new evaluation of the territory in which connoisseurship is conducted. Moreover, fresh thinking about the nature of workshop practice in the 17th century has widened the terms of the discussion to include speculation on the fundamental nature of authorship.
Carlo Ginzburg is Franklin D. Murphy Professor of Italian Renaissance Studies at UCLA. He received his Dottore in Lettere from the University of Pisa in 1961. Ginzburg's primary area of research is the history of the Italian Renaissance and Early Modern Europe. He is most famous for The Cheese and the Worms: The Cosmos of a Sixteenth-Century Miller (1976). Recent publications include No Island is an Island: Four Glances at English Literature in a World Perspective (New York: Columbia University Press, 2000) and Threads and Traces: True, False, Fictive (Berkeley, CA: The University of California Press, 2012). Ginzburg received the Aby Warburg Prize for achievement in the Humanities (1992), the Humboldt-Forschungs Prize (2007), and the Balzan Prize for the History of Europe, 1400-1700 (2010).
Ekphraseis – descriptions of real or imaginary works of art – inspired a well-known rhetorical genre that is part of Greek antiquity's legacy to European culture. In his talk, which will present two case studies, the first dealing with a short article by Philip Pouncey and the second with a longer essay by Roberto Longhi, Ginzburg will explore the potential impact of ekphraseis on connoisseurship. Additionally, Ginzburg will discuss the relationship between words and images, as well as the extent to which a verbal description can pave the way to the attribution of a visual artifact (a drawing, a painting, a sculpture).
Light refreshments will be served at 5:45 pm. The presentations will begin at 6:00 pm.
RSVP is required. Please click on the registration link at the bottom of this page or contact email@example.com.
PLEASE NOTE that our Lecture Hall can only accommodate a limited number of people, so please come early if you would like to have a seat in the main room. Registrants who arrive late may be seated in an overflow viewing area.

So with incoming freshmen we have, with returning juniors and seniors, it will round out a group of runners who are eager to improve and push to be a strong, competitive team. Their attitudes have been super the first week and if this is any indication of what is to come, it is going to be a great season."
Coach Says (girls): "The girls team has a different look than the boys. Along with Amanda and Keegan, there are two other seniors, two juniors and two sophomores who saw varsity action last year. So with this diversity of grade levels and our new group of runners mixed in, it is going to be an exciting season of pushing each other to excel and be successful. I am pleased with all the girls attitudes and how they are encouraging each other."
Billings West Golden Bears
2013: Girls fourth at state, boys 6th at state
Head Coach: Lauren Zent
Key Runners: Girls — Taylor Grove, Sr.; Brittney Grove, Sr.; Jess Keller, Jr.; Madeline Beckstead, Sr.; Shellbi Robinson, Jr.; Marissa Kossman, Jr.; Jaelynn Nielson. Boys — Issac Petsch, Sr.; Brennon Worthington, Sr.; Simon Petsch, So.; Garrett Beckstead, So.; Conrad Smith, Jr.
Coach Says: "We have most of our team returning this year, which is great for leadership and experience. We have a lot of talent and a lot of dedication, which will help us have a strong season. However, it will be tough. There are a lot of great teams in Montana and even just in Billings alone. We have our work cut out for us, but I think we will surprise some teams and maybe even ourselves. We have the largest team in the state with over 120 kids. Each year we get a little bigger, which is great for the sport of cross country.
Bozeman Hawks
2013: Boys and Girls state champions
Head Coach: Clint May
Key Runners: Girls — Bridget Creel (all-state), Piper Meuwissen (all-state). Boys — Chase Equall.
Coach Says: "After graduating not only our deepest, but also most talented senior class, the shape of this years team is in the "forming" stage. I have been pleased to see that a solid core of runners are putting in a good amount of work this summer. I am excited to help the 2014 Hawks find their identity and shape new goals. I believe that although we are younger than most years, our teams will remain very competitive."

@mikeclark1982: did you not notice this blog is over a year old?
SERIOUSLY? the only book ending soon, well books are northlanders and DMZ sometime near the end of the year/early 2012. vertigo is going through change because the real DC characters went back but otherwise now vertigo is a truly creator owned line. people make books there which they could not make at marvel(not even at icon) or DC proper. after DMZ ends, there will be a need for a legacy book(a book which lasts over a year or two) but otherwise vertigo is the place where you go to read real stories, not just superhero mumbo jumbo.
I do not really see how someone cannot find even one thing that interests them from the Vertigo line-up. So much variety and it is all top quality work.
" @Silkcuts: there're couples of reason i can't follow it. everytime i only follow 1 or 2 vertigo books everymonth, and my comics shop don't really have enough vertigo books , and if the book don't interest me so much i won't put it on my pulls list. so everytime i would wait to find cheap trades from amazon to save budget. but thanks for the info, anyway i might buy Madame Xanadu paperback from amazon :) "It happens that way, the comic culture has changed a lot and Vertigo hasn't changed with the times. The fans at average just don't support the books monthly like they use too. Madame Xanadu is wrapping up, but it is great still, especially as trades.
" @mrtrickster said:
" vertigo dosn't release any interesting series now. . "what???????!!!! that statement is pure ridiculousness IMO are you reading everything? (I am) "
now these are what would released this month, tell me which one is interesting i might take a look:)
" vertigo dosn't release any interesting series now. . "what???????!!!!
vertigo dosn't release any interesting series now. i think it should make a change. yes vertigo always go with what writers wanted. but i think they can't let writer writes too freely, need to take some action here. if dc just let vertigo flow like this someday it would end up like wildstorm now.
Though it saddens me to admit it I'm in complete agreement with you Silkcuts, Vertigo hasn't been the same for years now. In fact my hardcore credibility is going to be quashed immediately by the fact that I must confess to no longer following the books as closely as I once did (During the 90, early 2000's when pretty much everything the imprint released was gold), so my perspective can perhaps only be that of a pariah nowadays. Though I must say some of the books that became successful in the 2000's weren't altogether to my taste and thought some a little overrated, I also felt as though Vetigo's identity though still fascinating was perhaps being fractured somewhat, and my attention (nay obsession lol) waned somewhat. Perhaps the basic ingredient needed is quite a simple one, all though hard to actually attain: Really, really good idea's that genuinely capture the public imagination. Perhaps your right, perhaps Karen Berger is a part of the problem, but when it comes down to it it's the basic creative spark that is the fundamental Zeitgeist of the business and it's very true that she struck it lucky with the British invasion, but what can you do if there isn't necessarily a fresh pool of talent to work with? But like I say I'm merely a pariah and my opinion is perhaps somewhat abstracted.
may I ask what do you have? And if you just say Fables and the Sandman related stuff... then I void your comment.
Vertigo is failing as an imprint when someone like Peter Milligan can't have a Vertigo series lasting more then 3 years.

"IF I WERE A FRAGGLE..." BACKSTAGE MAGIC TRIP REPRT; Mar28-APR 3rd '10- W/PICS &VIDEO
(Some interesting characters hamming it up inside the teacups at Disneyland) If I were a Fraggle, I would choose to be the character who "likes to do laundry and cooks radish soup a lot" because I enjoy his main principle of beliefs and they are: That there are two things in life that are certain........1) Death and 2) Laundry :lmao:. Anywho ---- MAJOR :woohoo:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just booked this trip!:yay: Ok.....I have been up since 8 am yesterday and haven't yet caught 20 winks ..I am SOOOO UP for this trip!!!! And all introductions aside, my name is Kris and well......I am a confessed Disney nut who loves all things Disney. Recently, I took a serious look at the ABD's "Emerald Isle" vacation but the conversion from U.S. to Euro isn't where I want it to be at this time (possibly in a yr or so I will revisit this). So, as a nice alternative solution to this rather delicious moral delima, I chose this trip of a lifetime for many reasons: 1) I wanna know more about the history behind Walt's dream. 2) and of course.....let the "inner Goofy" in me come out and enjoy new places and have fun meeting new people who also enjoy all things Disney. 3). SEEING THE JIM HENSON STUDIOS! I L-O-V-E THE MUPPETS! :cloud9: 4) And speaking of the above reference, my favorite Disney character? Why.....it's Goofy. OK - I have never been to DL and am looking forward to: 1) My very first trip to "Fantasmic' (crossing my fingers):goodvibes 2) My very first rice Krispy treat (dipped in chocolate of course):cloud9: 3) My very first seeing of the parades and fireworkspopcorn:: 4). My very first ride onboard the Jungle cruise ride. 5). my very first ride in the teacups. 6). THE CALIFORNIAN GRAND HOTEL. 7). My very first SUCCESSFUL viewing of the "Hidden Mickey(s)" while seeing California Soarin (first & only time on the ride - Jan 2009 - ........I ducked!). 8). Seeing "Great Moments with Mr Lincoln" for the very first time (I tried seeing Hall of Presidents - Jan 2009 while in Orlando but it was closed for refurbishment). 9). misc...... OK.....will calm down for now. Will write more over the next few days YYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAA YIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPPPEEEE!!!! If anyone can give me some suggestions or tips as to better enhance this adventure, please feel free to post on this thread cuz I am looking forward to hitting the ground running when I get there. Some questions I have for all of you are: 1) should I wear earplugs while watching the fireworks? 2) are there cd's of park music from either Disneyland or California Adventure? Where would I find them? 3). 4). But one thing is for sure, The Fraggle "with no name" will be my traveling partner as he will be the appointed food critic and what not. And yes, in keeping with tradition of my trip reports.....any ABD "surprises" will not be a part of my trip report.....just lots of pictures and videos - where I am allowed to take them. COMING UP NEXT: my memories of having a conversation with Dr. Bunsen Honeydew & his trusty assistant Beaker (years ago) and e-gads and gazooks! Can I pay someone to help me pack?? T.T.F.N. |
Oh you are gonna have a blast!
DL is very cool. I have only been once BUT.....We wee there for 1 day before a cruise and for 3 days after a cruise. It is very different than WDW. IT IS WAY SMALLER. And at first i thought a bit cheesy dont get me wrong....I came to really like it and FULLY enjoyed myself BUT have done WDW about 25 times and had to get a Different mind set on. I willpost a couple picshere and on our cruise board too. |
Hoo-ray for you! This is my #1 dream ABD trip! I can't wait to hear what you think of the Muppet studio. Our entire family LOVES the Muppets!
I hope you have a great time planning, dreaming and traveling!!!! |
view from balconey at GAND CALIFORNIAN!!!!!!! ENJOY! |
You are going to have so much fun! Love your trippy report name. (Mainly because I :love: fraggles!) Can't wait to follow all the details.
:thumbsup2 Thanks for the link. I'm along for the ride ...
:goodvibes Jennifer |
About that view.....
Now that is a wonderful view:goodvibes ! What that is is considered (by ABD standards) a room upgrade - which means an additional charge by the ABD guest if they want that kind of a view. Though I do say I just encountered today quite a strange conversation(s) with ABD reps about what kind of a view we would have while staying at the Grand Californian. AND it all had to do with me ONLY valueing a hotel room that has a balconey. This I said as I relayed to them my experiences while at the Great Wolf Lodge at Williamsburg Va via my recently concluded ABD's Spirit of America trip (Sept 2009). I relayed to them that I am the type of ABD guest who really likes to unwind (after a "long" :lmao: day at the Disney parks or what not) with TWO chocolate chip / m&m cookes and wash it down with a chocolate milkshake as I have my feet propped up while I am relaxing/decompressing out on my hotel room balconey. I went on to say that while at the Great Wolfe Lodge, I really enjoyed the full moon and the view of the outdoor water park while out on my hotel room balconey. For some unknown reason, these ABD reps assumed that I was wanting (WHAT IS KNOWN) a "Park view" (see above picture) or a view of Downtown Disney while I am at the Grand Californian. **************THIS ISN'T WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR ************** What I valued was a room with a balconey (high floor) but enstead I was hit with vague responses which in turn, I thanked them for their time...hung up the phone....then called right back. On the third phone call, a ABD rep by the name of DIEDRA informed me that (during the course of the conversation) that I could be given a room with "A view of a parking lot" for all she knew. So , again I thanked her for HER time.....ended the call on a positive close ....then hung up AND CALLED BACK AGAIN.....FOR A FOURTH TIME. This time, I got a hold of a rep who said the following: That she said ABD holds a block of rooms that (at Disney's Grand Californian) are standard inside COURTYARD views and that your balconey will be determined upon what floor and where your room is located. feeling now more satisified upon hearing her answer, I thanked her and again....ended the call on a positive close. So, a few hours go by and I think a little (after calming down over the way ABD rep DEIDRA customer DISserviced me), I am writing this as to "go to bat" for future ABD DISsers who desire this kind of a room with this kind of a view. Therefore, I am calling back ABD Saturday for a FIFTH TIME to discuss this issue and to make sure that they have in my profile that I like a hotel room located on a high floor and that the comments section on this vacation of mine clearly state my requests for a No charge room upgrade (if avail) at either hotel and at Grand Californian; to either a park view or Dwntown Disney view. So, to wrap up here on this silly issue...the reason why I feel so strongly about this issue is I feel highly offended by Deidra's remark about possibly receiving a hotel room with a view of a parking lot.:confused: I wouldn't feel this way if I was a dot com'er reserving a room at my local Motel 6 or even gosh forbid......my local Howard Johnson's hotel/motel.....[B]but these two hotels (on this trip) are not of this caliber and that I don't feel it is necessary to treat ABD guests as such/B] as in the way Diedra verbally treated me.:headache: Moreover, after I got to thinking, I am reading in the USA TODAY's money section recently that the hotel industry's occupancy levels (nationwide) has fallen on average by 14-16% over the last 12 months and...........yyeess.....I also work in the hotel industry in the hospitality section of it and I know that as a whole, the entire hotel / amusement park industry is hurting for business. Therefore, this is why I feel compelled to push this issue and see where it falls. *** WISH ME LUCK *****popcorn:: Quote:
WIll write more about my fav subject this Sunday as well as the update on my "request" for a no charge room upgrage if available at either hotel. T.T.F.N. |
Well that is very sad..........
As i would have hoped that ABD guest would have gotten the better rooms for all the money that they are about to spend or have already spent. That is sad......As i had hopedto take many ABDs in the future. And a hotel room view is the icing on the cake for me. I DEFINITLEY would not want to look at a parking lot......... ALTHOUGH, knowing what i do know when you are in WDW looking at a parking lot would mean just that parking lot and some trees (MAYBE) AT DL parking lot view would have to be a little better (although, still not what i wold want from ABD) becasue you are so compacted in, that you would most definitley have to see surrounding hotels, several city streets, I would have to imagine that you might even be able to cathc a glimpse of the monorail from a parking lot view.............BUT STILL PARK OR GARDEN WOULD BE SO MUCH BETTER. GOOD LUCK |
I will be interested to hear how this goes. I also spoke with my TA about the GC for our ABD BSM trip next year. I want to put in a bed type request and my TA said she was told to call GC a month beforehand to set this up. There's enough else for me to do in these next 4 weeks that its on next year's 'to do' list! :rotfl2:
Good luck with your phone call! |
I'm going to throw out here a suggestion that if, once you get to the GC, you still don't like your room (view of a parking lot) that you bring it up to your Adventure Guides. When I was on Southwest Splendors, everyone but me and the family of 3 got rooms facing the river (it made sense for the family of 3, because all the river view rooms are King bed rooms, but for me...) The Adventure Guides *offered* to get me moved. So if you aren't happy -- say something! That's a part of the guide's job. No guarantee they can do anything if there's no rooms open, but you really need to ask.
In fact, I would suggest mentioning it to your Guides at the start of the tour. That way, they can communicate with the GC before you're checked in. Sayhello |
"the great 'room with a view' debate: Resolved"
:goodvibes A HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HAVE WRITTEN TO ME AND OFFERED THEIR SUPPORT AND OR SUGGESTIONS because it sure feels nice to have DISboards friends :goodvibes.
Ok....some pearls of wisdom to pass on to all of you so we can all avoid situations like one of us encountered on my recently completed ABD's "Spirit of America" trip (Sept 2009) which was: They were housed (Hyatt at Penn's Landing via the Philadelphia part of the trip)......right next door to a wedding party.:scared1: How do I know this?? Well, I make it a point to converse daily with all fellow adventurers and they told me. And yyeesss.......I met the Groom later on that morning while in the elevator (AFTER the ABD guests got moved) and said to him with my arm raised and my first clenched, "party on dude!" With which he replied, "SWEET!" with both arms raised with fists clenced as he proceeded to do a rebel yell. SO.......my pearl of wisdom I would like to pass on is I have learned the importance of making sure your "GUEST PROFILE" ABD computer screen is always up to date (whenever you call ABD) and that your guest preferences has been made very clear to ABD and to follow up on this approx 2 weeks prior to departure (with ABD) so that there is no confusion at hotel check-in. Now....about that customer service issue with that ABD rep..... Please keep in mind that it is very important to remember that it's not what one says but in how one says it and that furthermore, it is very important to have your "homework done" in relation to your issue and to be prepared to defend it. So, I took a step back and gave ABD a call Saturday at 11:38am and did not finish with my phone call to them until 1:58pm. I know this because I was having fun working on a Disney photomoasic puzzle as I was conversing.:cloud9: ** And I finished about 1/3 of the 1000 piece puzzle ** ANYWHO - The air was cleared (I recapped with her my previous posting and then some) and I get a feeling that I caught ABD's attention and that moreover I feel that it will be reflected in this upcoming ABD trip of mine:woohoo: I can't say what nor do I feel comfortable revealing who I spoke with but I do have her internal phone number and have no issue speaking with her directly from now on. During the phone call, she also apoligized to me for that rep's incredibly poor behavior and assured me that ABD is here to take care of me. That felt good to hear because I have grown to love ABD and really appreciate what they do. WE all have our "bad hair" days from time to time but I felt that this one rep needed some coaching and coaching she will receive from her supervisor. Oh....and now for the good part: From what started out as me coming home (while on the Disney cruise ship in January 2009) to 2 "big cookies" and a glass of milk always waiting for me in my refrigerator, has grown into a tradition for me. I always like coming home after a long day :lmao: at a Disney park or what not to something like that waiting for me. Well....let's just say (after my over 2 hour phone call back up to ABD) that I have no worries about that NOR coming home to any hotel room during this vacation with NOT just a good view.....BUT A FANTASTIC VIEW including a balconey where applicable:dance3: & :woohoo: & :thumbsup2 & :cool1: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I have no worries about other issues as well but they are minor - still, I don't wanna give away anything here but I feel that they will be reflected back thru my trip popcorn::. So to wrap it up here everyone......please make sure that not only your Guest profile computer screen is up to date with ABD but to please make sure that you make it very clear to ABD your preferences and that if you are not satisified over anything during your trip, please speak with your ABD guide as they are here to help you to resolve any issue to your satisifaction.:cloud9: NOW......onto what I really am here to talk about - MY PRE-TRIP REPORT:) OR AS MICKEY MOUSE SAYS.......... "And now, On with the show!" |
"the Fraggle who came to dinner"
......hey - look who came a knocking on my front door the other day?
http://i608.photobucket.com/albums/t...4/DSCF2852.jpg So....the "Fraggle with no name" has decided to tag along with me and be the local food critic and what not for my upcoming "Backstage Magic" vacation. He prefers to be called the "Fraggle with no name" on account if you type his name into the computer, out will pop his name spelled as: "****er":confused3 To avoid any confusion nor any hilarity over his first name, he just prefers to be called the "Fraggle with no name" or "FWNN" for short;). ANYWHO - I am having fun "studying up" on DL and Calif Adventure parks by buying the Birnbaum book the other day:hippie:. That book is soooooooo helpful and I would highly recommend it to anyone as a primer and a place to put your computer printouts from other things related to your trip. So, in between that and watching the Disney movie "Ratatouille" for the first time, I am beginning to have a pretty good feeling as to the pace of this trip which is: * ;) Always expect the unexpected when you run with me on a Disney trip;)* Speaking of that, FWNN has also brought along some party crashers who want to go with him on this trip: http://i608.photobucket.com/albums/t...4/DSCF2858.jpg AND who am I to say 'no' to? HHHHHmmmmmmmmm...hope I don't exceed hotel occupany in my room:lmao:. BUT.....about my Muppet conversation I had years ago with Dr. Bunsen Honeydew.... TO BE CONTINUED.... (I'm off to watch the Disney movie, "The Parent Trap" for the very first time) popcorn:: T.T.F.N. |
During the course of booking four AbD trips within the past 3 years, I have spoken to most of the AbD agents, including Deidra, and they have ALL been friendly and helpful. Not once has any of the agents been flippant or rude to me.
I don't know what happened between "knewton64" and Deidra to elicit such a response from her (allegedly). However, I would caution everyone not to form any negative impressions of Deidra based solely on his comments, which were most likely taken out of context. We don't know what exactly was said, or how it was said, during his conversation with Deidra. knewton64: I'm glad the AbD supervisor was able to resolve the issue to your satisfaction. Have a great time on your Backstage Magic tour! |
Some clarification here....
Whereas I highly appreciate your feedback, the issue I have concerned the lack of customer service I received from the above mentioned ABD rep. I understand clearly that we all have our good C.S.R. days and our bad C.S.R. days BUT....that doesn't mean that you say to a highly valued ABD guest (during the phone conversation on last Friday) that, "For all I know, yur gunna receive a view of a parking lot." That above comment is what I found to be extremely unprofessional and extremely demeaning to this ABD guest. This, combined with 2 previous ABD reps being very defensive about this topic (which by the way, I didn't initiate) involked me into thinking what is going on here and why are they being so defensive. Please re-read my above post for any further clarification on this if necessary. Moreover, I also work in the hotel /hospitality industry and I am very well aware that words carry meaning and to be aware of what I say to our valued guests. Therefore, since she chose to act in this way, I chose to take a step back for 24 hours and think of how to approach ABD on this CSR verbal mistsep as I believe firmly that you too would feel just a little concerned about receiving this kind of customer service on your ABD trip (considering all hotels nationwide are incurring a 16% drop in occupancy over the last 12 months). But rest asssured everyone (as I am very customer serviced oriented) , I have no ax to grind with the above mentioned ABD rep and should I encounter her again over the phone, I have no problem conversing with her....after all - :hippie: ** WE ARE ALL HUMAN BEINGS**:hippie: And lastly, yes - you (and others) are more than welcome to follow along in my trip report as I am looking forward to this adventure. I have done a lot of extensive reading and asking the right questions concerning this trip and will quite literally be hitting the ground running when I touch down at LAX in a little over 90 days. I have done this because I believe very strongly in being an informed ABD guest as my biggest pet peeve is "running up the heel" of a Disney park guest who has their nose buried in a park map because they don't know where they are going :headache:. On a lighter side, I have only witnessed one couple "Going Disney" on each other and that was within the first 10 minutes of me checking into the Caribbean Beach Hotel (Jan 2009). I have read about this and it was quite funny listening in (we were all at the hotel bus stop waiting for the bus to take us to one of the Disney parks) to their verbal fight. A fight while at all places - DISNEY. What's your pet peeve? As a matter of fact, that opens the door to an interesting conversation so let me open up that question to all of you. What's your biggest per peeve while visiting a Disney park? Feel free to list your answers below as the answers should be quite interesting to read;) . NOW.....on with the show:goodvibes. T.T.F.N. |
The great muppet 'Hare-raising" adventure, who 8 my Disney photomosiac puzzle?, misc.
(photo taken @ Smithsonian Institution of American History; Sept. 2009 during my ABD's Spirit of America trip) and... http://i608.photobucket.com/albums/t...4/DSCF2364.jpg Ok.....my rather unique Muppet adventure all started a long long time ago when I was in secondary school & was enrolled in a creative writing class. The assignment one day was to write a short story and gear it towards children. I decided to write a story that concerned the learning of prepositions and surround it using a character of a frog.:goodvibes My short story got rave reviews (and a subsequent A from the professor) from all but then disaster struck a few months later as I learned a very important lesson in copywriting anything that you writepopcorn::. What do I mean by all of this? Well... **It all had to do with Sesame Street** So, here I am a few months later, flipping around the television channels in a vain attempt to find something to watch. I finally realize there is something to watch on the local PBS station but it would involve sitting through the last few minutes of Sesame Street. As I am noshing a bit on my meal, suddenly I drop my fork and stare blankly at the television screen; for I witness scene by scene, preposition by preposition......MY SHORT STORY!:3dglasses After a few minutes of allowing my jaw to be picked up off the floor, I call my professor and ask him what should I do. He replied that I should call CTW and ask them. So, off I go and call up to NY to see what's up. After getting bounced around from department to department, (they thought I was going to sue them), I finally landed in the legal department and spoke with a very nice young lady who advised me that their idea came into play 6 months AFTER I wrote my short story. I ended the phone call on a positive close and also obtained her fax number; which over the years has morphed into her e-mail address as we still keep in touch today. Anywho - one year, she asked me (through her work contacts) if I would like to watch a filming of the Muppets. Of course, I replied that I would be delighted but I threw a curve at her & asked her if time permitted, would I be allowed a short conversation with them. She saw no objection to it & it was like I had died and gone to heaven watching the Muppets at work:cloud9:! I sat quietly off in a corner and watched the days shoot and as they were wrapping up, look who I spy but Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and his trusty assistant....Beaker:woohoo:. I couldn't resist in asking the Doctor if he had any remedies for my "cranium folicle deficiency problem" (it was during this time that I began to lose my hair and take on the look of Dr. Phil):lmao:. After conferring with Beaker for a few minutes, both he & Beaker went behind what looked like a Muppet closed door and then reappeared after a few minutes. What puzzled me next was Dr. Honeydew had something in "his hand" and I wanted to know what it was. It was a miracle I didn't bust a gut in a vain attempt from keeping myself from laughing WHILE still keeping eye contact (Dr. Honeydew has eyes?;)) with him as he "handed" me his solution. He "handed" to me a small Bean Bunny plush doll and said to sing to him every night and that should do the trick:lmao:. I accepted his remedy with dignity and grace, thanked both him and Beaker for their kindess and exited the room. My pace was rather quick and the moment I got outside, I felt I have never laughed soooooooooooooooooo hard in my life:rotfl2:! Now.....if that remedy of his would just work!:rotfl: So as I count down the days left until my ABD vacation of a lifetime, I wonder just what new adventures await me. Only time will tellpopcorn::. UP NEXT: OK.....WHO ATE MY DISNEY PHOTOMOSIAC 1000 PIECE PUZZLE? |

"The back button for the Internet"
Posted by Tom Grant on December 9, 2008
Even if I didn't do research for a living, I'd be very excited about Zeotrope, a joint venture between the University of Washington and Adobe. Scrolling through Web content as it changes over time is cool. Scrolling simultaneously through multiple kinds of content--like, say, the consumer confidence index, unemployment, and gasoline prices--is incredibly cool.
It's not too early to remind ourselves of the risk of jumping to conclusions when using a tool like Zeotrope. The usual warnings about spurious relationships and logical fallacies still apply. Still, what a potentially useful tool, if used for good.
re: "The back button for the Internet"
Well, the Zeotrope link didn't seem to be working when I tried it out, but your wording caught my eye - could it actually be used for evil? I guess if you found something that was self-similar, being able to track it back through time would show you what it was going to be in the future. Like gas prices. Hitting $4/gal again.

Day 6 of Lesotho Sky 2014 – Roma to Ramabanta, 55km
The final day of the 2014 Lesotho Sky set riders off on a 55 km course from the overnight stop in Roma back to Ramabanta. As a final send off riders were spoilt with a mostly single track route featuring more of the climbing, twists, turns, challenging technical sections and unrivaled vistas which define the event. Capping off their overall victory the Contego pairing of Louis-Bresler Knipe and Gert Heyns claimed their fifth stage win for 2014 crossing the line in 03:18:40. Shaun Mackenzie and Simon Zahnd of team MyGas followed in second place in 03:27:38. Alliance 1's Teboho Khantsi and Phetetso Monese came home in 03:29:33 taking third place. The final overall standings for the 2014 Lesotho Sky are as follows: 1) Contego - Louis-Bresler Knipe and Gert Heyns - 17:54:36 2) Alliance 1 - Teboho Khantsi and Phetetso Monese - 18:55:13 3) MyGas - Shaun Mackenzie and Simon Zahnd - 19:06:00 CLICK FOR FULL REPORT AND PHOTOS FROM DAY 6 CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE DAILY VIDEOS

For the front of my house I am planning on putting an 8 x 6 mahogany French front door. And adding a similar window on each side. Do they make windows like this or is my only option to buy 3 doors? The door isn't cheap and I really don't wanna buy 3. Anyone know of anything like what I'm talking about? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Best bet is to see if the company you're buyng the door from has a window that would match.If it has any divided lites pay close atention to the profiles and maybe look at some cad drawings. |

This corner cupboard can turn an empty corner into a storage and display spot. Cleverly designed to minimize board waste and to be easy to build.
Special thanks to Tamara for sharing her photos with us.
Projects built from this plan. Thank you for submitting brag posts, it's appreciated by all!
Thank you Mamma_joy for not only requesting this plan, but actually believing that I might have the ability to come up with a simple way to build it. So many of you have requested corner cabinets, and I've been listening. But like Erin says in her project suggestion, how would we build this one without beveling the sides, requiring a table saw? Definitely required some deep thinking, and I'm so proud to publish this plan AND also say, it's pretty simple, totally buildable, and you don't have to have a table saw at your disposal.
I tried to keep the dimensions close to Erin's suggestion for the plan
But it's a no brainer to modify the corner cupboard to be a little wider
Just use a 1x12 for the back instead of a 1x8 as the plan calls for. For both plans, the shelves are made of 1x12s, so the shelves will only be approximately 11 1/2" deep.
So go measure your corner. Do you have 21 1/2" of space? Then the question is, do you have some beadboard?
2 – 1x12s, 6 feet long
1 – 1×8, 6 feet long
1 – 1×4, 6 feet long
1 sheet of beadboard, preferably 1/4″ to 3/8″ thick
3 – 1x3s, 8 feet long
1 – 1×2, 3 feet long
1 – 36″ long crown moulding or other moulding
1 – 1×8 @ 72″ (Back)
6 – 1×12 @ 30 1/2″, both ends cut at 45 degrees off square (see step 1)
2 – 1×3 @ 72″ (Front Side Trim)
2 – Beadboard @ 16 1/4″ x 72″ (Measure for exact fit)
2 – 1×4 @ 26 1/2″ (Top and Bottom Trim, measure for exact fit)
1 – 1×2 @ 26 1/2″ (Tabletop trim, measure for exact fit)
top moulding – measure to fit
Doors – see step 6.
Cut Shelves
This step would be really straight forward if widths of boards didn't vary so much depending on where you live. So take your 1×8 pine boards and measure how wide they are. Can be anywhere from 7″ to 7 1/2″. Note this then start cutting your shelves by cutting one end of the 1×12 at 45 degrees. Then measure the width of the 1×8 (in the example above that is 7 1/2″) and a 45 degree cut PERPENDICULAR to the first cut. Then continue making cuts to make all your shelves. In this manner you can easily adjust the width of your back to the width of a 1×12 or 1×10. You will need to cut six shelves totally.
Now mark the back as shown in the diagram above. All shelves need to be fixed. Predrill your holes or pocket holes and apply glue. Attach back to shelves with 2″ screws and glue.
Front Side Trim
Mark the front side trim 1/2″ in all the way down the length of the back side of the side trim. Then mark all shelf locations as indicated in the above diagram. Predrill holes. Consider the depth of your screws and the angled shelf cuts as you place your screws – 2″ screws on the inside and 1 1/4″ screws on the outer edge, 2 screws per shelf. Use glue. Don't stress this one too much, the sides are going to get beadboard (super strong) over them. The main thing is to get these lined up just right.
Measure the width of the open spaces on the back sides, and cut your beadboard to fit. Shown above is the perfect dimensions for 1x12s that measure 11 1/2″ wide. Try to get a nice tight fit. Apply glue to the shelf edges that are exposed and use 1 1/4″ screws to attach the beadboard to the shelves. Keep the beadboard first and foremost flush to the back 1×8, as this is the seam that will be most visible. The front seams are hidden behind the front side trim.
Shelf Trim
If you have a Kreg Jig™, you will want to build your entire face frame first, then attach. But if you don't, first attach your trim to the shelves with either 2″ finish nails and glue or 2″ screws and glue. Then predrill pilot holes carefully on the ends and use 3″ screws to attach sides to trim. Cut out bottom footer as desired.
Top Moulding
Measure the top and tack the crown o
The doors are the most difficult part because most of us don't have routers or tablesaws. If you do have a router or table saw, you can build your doors inset as shown above. because of the shelf behind the doors, the doors must be no more than 3/4″ thick, so you will have to inset the panel in the frame of the door. There are other options.
You can build an overlay door. Simply build a frame out of 1x3s, either using a Kreg Jig™ or 3″ fine screws to build the frame. Then tack beadboard to the back, but make sure the beadboard would fit in the opening in the shelf.
And you would want to add the center post to remove any gaps between the doors.

This is awesome I think you should make it bigger for a corner entertainment center that you can add side cabinets that corresponds like the Pottery Barn Printer Collection
Lisa W replied on Permalink
Looks exactly like the one I had growing up. I ended up selling it a couple of years ago because it was a pain to move and the wood on one side of the back was broken and I didn't know how to fix it. I don't know that I'll make this, but thanks for the memories brought back just by seeing the piece. Have a great night!
mamma_joy replied on Permalink
You're awesome! I had no doubt you would be able to do this...and now we all can, too! It looks so fun to build! Thank you for all that you do!!
P.S. I feel like a celebrity being mentioned in your post! <3
Lynn replied on Permalink
This is great. I agree with Michelle, this would be great modified to be a corner entertainment center. I would definitely make that since I have been trying to figure one out for my home. Hmmm, will have to see if I can modify for the size of my flat screen tv. Thanks, as always for the great stuff.
I got tools and a gift card for lumber as gifts this year (that was all I asked for) so, along with my chop saw, my kreg regular and micro jigs and my drill, I will be all set to get building! The basement is a workshop just for me and I am creating a craft room from one of our bedrooms for my sewing and fabric crafts! You are a gift!
Leroy Barrentine replied on Permalink
A few years back My Wife wanted one that Penny's sold,it was
$495:oo We got to looking around the catalog outlet stores and foud the exect same cabinet.The only thing wrong with it was one of the back panels was busted and was missing a foot on the front.
We got it for $85:00 and went to Lowes and got a sheet of 1/4" luan for the back that matched the other side and they had the same exect same foot.
So if You want to spend some time You might luck up and find a deal as We did.Not takeing anything away from Anna I love Her disigns and have built many of them.
this looks AMAZING! the steps are so easy to follow. i can't wait to convince the hubby that we need to build this! thanks Ana!
I love it, Ana! That has me all excited. I think that would look great in the corner in my dining room. Hmmmm.
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!

I'm sorry, I know I should post this on community board but some how am not computer literate enough to do so. Is it safe to use pressure treated lumber for inside projects if it is painted/sealed? I have 4 tiny girls and have heard some about the chemicals in the treated wood being so bad for you. But I didn't know if it was painted if it made any difference? My husband has lots of scraps I would love to steal :) but I wasn't sure if that was ok? Sorry, I'm totally new. I've never built anything before so I don't know anything about wood. Thank you to anyone who is nice enough to answer my question!
Deb W replied on Permalink
Shelley, PLEASE don't use PT wood for any projects where kids are involved! One tiny little sliver will give the worst infection (personal experience) and little kids are so much more susceptible to any kind of poison... Better safe than sorry, right?
claydowling replied on Permalink
Pressure treated wood is a terrible choice for any furniture project. It's 100% guaranteed to warp, twist and crack. It's fine on a deck, where you're willing to accept that in return for not rotting. You don't want that in furniture in your house.
The toxicity issue is also worth considering. If the wood is still wet it will definitely stain your floors. Painting does seal the toxins in and makes them safe, unless your children develop a sudden need to eat the entire board (in which case the long-term toxicity effects are the least of your worries).
But the wood will not make a satisfactory material for indoor furniture. Please also see my standardized rant on purchasing lumber.
thank you so much for your insight and your input on this sight. i am new to all this and am learning as i go. i went to the big box place today and couldn't find the 4x4 posts for the twin farmhouse. all they had was that pressure treated stuff. i will check local mom and pop places and see what i can find. i enjoyed your rant on purchase lumber i had a good lol moment with the 5 o'clock shadow bit!! : ) i saw a modification for this by gluing 2x4's but i don't think it looks good. would i have to putty the seam or add a veneer to hide the jointed wood since it faces the front. what would you recommend? i am trying to make it with with no mortise rail fittings. thanks!
claydowling replied on Permalink
You can make a glue up look nice if you trim the rounded edges off. Unfortunately that requires either a table saw with a very good rip blade, which you probably don't have, or a good jack plane (which you probably also don't have, but costs a lot less and takes a lot less room).
Erika replied on Permalink
Add this one to my list!
Tiffany replied on Permalink
Yay! Yay! and Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jack replied on Permalink
I wouldn't use pressure treated (PT) for several reasons, the #1 being the chemicals they use.
Other reasons I wouldn't are:
* PT is several times heavier than untreated wood.
* PT is generally harder to cut with regular blades. I'm not saying it can't be done, but you might have a hard time if you don't have a sharp blade.
* PT is usually very wet feeling and needs a while (weeks) to dry, even outside.
I really just don't think its worth trying, but you may have better luck.
Ana, I just fell in love with you again. I am hopeful that you will have plans for kitchen cabinets up before DH and I start building them ourselves. Of course all a kitchen cabinet is...is a bookshelf with doors.
Jennifer replied on Permalink

Tsu Dho Nimh replied on Permalink
It's low-quality wood, hard to cut, stinky, and doesn't paint or stain worth a darn.
Don't waste your time.

You are wonderful!
Jami replied on Permalink
So, I looked at this and thought "Wow, Ana, has done it again...Brilliance! But, I don't need this in any corner of my house, bummer. Then someone suggested building it for a TV and I realized this is exactly what I need to modify and tuck my TV away in the corner my bedroom.
Yay for Ana and Ana's awesome friends!
Erin replied on Permalink
I love this design! Do you have plans for a regular shelf unit with doors on the bottom? I would love to have bookshelves in my living room where I could store things in the bottem (and then baby latch) so my daughter can't get to certain things. Would I need a special design or just add doors to one of your current shelves? Thanks! Keep up the good work- You're awesome!

With a small house that wasn't designed with storage of any kind in mind, I'm always looking for storage ideas. I *love* this. Can't wait for spring so we can set up our wood working tools in the garage!
clarissa kisic replied on Permalink
I love this cabinet and I will probably make it in the near future......I was wondering if there is any way to make a corner TV stand out of the bottom of this unit? if anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them. I am going to study the plans a bit more and see if I can figure out what kind of cuts I would need for just the bottom portion of this unit.
Sue Dally replied on Permalink
I want to make this wider for a corner media center-just the bottom. Our present tv is 42"-but we might be getting a larger one in the future. How do I make the base wider?
Ana White replied on Permalink
Sue, the easiest method is to use a wider width board for the back "spine". But if you want to have no dead space behind the cupboard, you will need to cut your shelves from 3/4" plywood or MDF into pentagon or triangle shaped pieces and build in that method. Me personally? I'm okay with more dead space behind the cupboard than dealing with a jigsaw and large plywood pieces :)
christina miller replied on Permalink
That is exactly what I was thinking- about 38"-40" across the front would be perfect. I have been wanting to build a corner entertainments center for quite some time.
anawhite_ replied on Permalink
Look what Tamara made!
Jen replied on Permalink
I want to make 2 of these but I want to make them taller to look like built-ins. Like 8 feet tall. How would I do this and still make them structurally sound? Also, can plywood or mdf replace the beadboard backing? Or would adjustments need to be made to the measurements since beadboard is thin?
It should be no problem to increase the height to 8 feet. Just have to add 1-2 more shelves or space them out further.
If you use thicker material in place of the beadboard it may stick out past the sides of the 1x3's. It's hard to say from the plans. The simple answer is to offset the 1x3's more than the 1/2" listed in the directions to hide the edges. This would change the lengths of the shelf trim pieces and the width of the center post between the doors.
Another option is to use 1x4's which will provide even more coverage and might look better on a larger cupboard. Using 1/2" plywood or mdf (heavy) would really stiffen things up.
I would recommend finding the wall studs in the corners where you will be installing the cupboards and drive a few trim head screws through the back panels into the wall for added stability. You could drive them in just under a shelf and they would be hidden.
Can anyone recommend a different material for the back? I'm anxiously awaiting the fundage to tackle this project and have been mulling over what to use. I'm thinking a good grade of plywood. I want to stain the piece in the end, so something stainable is a must.
You could use Lauan plywood, unfinished paneling, hardwood veneered plywood.
Guest replied on Permalink
Did anyone happen to take this plan and turn it into a media stand for a 42" tv or bigger? Basically I just need the bottom half of this unit but bigger...no idea where to start! lol
Joe Makes Things replied on Permalink
My house is a hundred plus years old and came with two corner cabinets built into the dining room. The shelves have a feature that I feel adds to the funtionality of the shelves for displaying the "good" dishes. Each of the exposed shelves has a groove routed into the top of the shelf 1.25" from the back. This groove allows you to lean you "good" dishes upright at a slight angle.
One consideration when building these shelves is to decide if you are going to permenantly mount them to you corner. If you would like them to be movable, don't forget to incorporate noches around the bottom trim and install an offset support for the back of the unit so the entire shelf will sit over your baseboards.
You cabinet design is wonderful.
claydowling replied on Permalink
A low raised rail works as well. My china cabinet has one, and I love it for displaying all of the dishes I inherited from my grandmother. I've seen this carried to its logical extreme around the outside of a room as well.

I love this and starting the project this weekend. I'm planning on building 2 corner units in my dining room and have a small snag. Both corners have basebord heat and I'm trying to figure out a way to cut away the bottom so the unit will fit snug in the corners. Any ideas?
claydowling replied on Permalink
I have a similar problem with some bookshelves I'm building. I'm putting legs on to the level of the top of the heater, building a top that extends all the way to the wall, and will be fastened to the wall with a cleat.
LenClark replied on Permalink
Excellent idea about the legs, thanks Clay.
Guest replied on Permalink
So I have been wanting to build this and place it in my dining room. I need the extra space to store the "good dishes". But then my son wanted a bird(parakeet) well one turned into 3.(I felt bad for the one for being by herself and got her some friends...)
At anyrate I am going to take out the 2 and 3rd shelves from the top.I think I am going to add rails for the support. Then on the shelf above the cabinet doors I was thinking that I would frame out the wire and build it into the cabinet that way. So that I could then be able to open the cabinet doors to clean the cage and have storage under the newspaper section.
For the front of the cabinet I thought I would hang the wire from the inside before the back is put on it.Of course I will have to add trim on the inside to cover the wire. Also I will have a section in the wire to open so we can feed/water them.
Thank you Ana so much for these plans!! I built the Farm-Table of my dreams from your plans!!! :) Bonnie
I was just commissioned by someone in my neighborhood to make two opposing corner bookcases. I had my own plan in mind but think I will go with this plan. However, since the customer wants the units painted, I'm going to use cabinet grade plywood in place of the 1x8 pine and the beadboard, for added strength. I'll probably make the units taller and wider and will also probably bevel the back panel to accept the plywood for a nice snug fit. Anyway, I'm so glad I came across these plans. I'm new to this site and I LOVE IT!!

Hello, all. To Ana or anyone else having experience building this piece, I am confused on a couple of the steps. I already have the shelves, two front trim pieces and main back piece cut.
Step 3: Says place 2" screws on the inside and 1-1/4" screws on the outer edge, 2 screws per shelf. Wouldn't this be 4 screws per shelf or am I reading into this wrong? I've used some scrap to try this out with the 1/2" overlap and drilling 2 pocket holes into the angled edge of one of the scrap shelves. I used 1-1/4" screws and they actually just came through the front trim piece (there is no way 2" screws would work, the way I am doing this). Furthermore, I am concerned that the joint will not be that strong with the holes so close together and not having much to "bite" into in the angled shelf edge. Should pocket holes be used here to fasten the trim pieces to the shelves, or would finish nails be safer (no splitting)? I have considered using a pneumatic trim nailer with 2" brads, also. Thoughts?
Step 5: Says if you have a Kreg Jig (I do) to build the entire face frame first. Does this essentially take the place of step #3 for me, if I do in fact use a pocket hole system? If I went ahead and built the entire face frame first, what is the best way of attaching it to the rest of the assembly? (Goes back to my above question).
Overall, I am concerned with strength and stability. I intend to house glasses and mugs on the top shelves and I just want to make sure the unit is as rigid as possible. I've been mulling over these couple of steps, trying to come up with the best way to attach the side trim to the shelves. Any help (verbal or pictures or other) would be greatly appreciated to keep my project rolling along!
Ana, very cool design, I'm hoping I can do it justice and pull it off! Will post pics if and when I do!

I just finished making this cupboard and it looks awesome.
It took me three nights in a dark garage and it's my first succesfull woodwork project.
Thanks for the great instructions and pictures.
I'll post pictures as soon as I completed it with a fresh paint.
Thanks again for the instructions, it was a great project to work on.

Love, Love, Love this! I always wanted a cupboard like this but didn't want to spend $300-$500 for it! My question is how do I downsize it...at least the width? to 25 1/2 in width instead of 35 1/2 in?

We got ours built and have had it a few months. My issue now: it's a little wobbly. Anyway to steady it up?

Michael I am always changing the dimensions of projects to fit my particular needs. I find that just studying the plans and the process is a big help. For example in this case the first step is to cut the back piece and attach the shelves. The front of the shelves are almost the entire width of the cupboard's front so make them 25". You can play with the width of the back piece and the size of the shelves on paper. I like to use the notebook paper that has all the little squares (4 to an inch) so I can draw somewhat to scale. When I do that it gives me a perspective of how the final piece will look. When you shorten the width by 30% your back piece will also have to be shortened otherwise you will have built a funny looking box. So think, draw, do the math and once you start installing the shelves take great care to keep them square. This project requires you to pay a lot of attention to squareness in all three dimensions. I posted my experience on Ana White's site as well as The Design Confidential if you are interested. Give it a go. By the way use dowels to trim out intersections and have a lot of good wood filler on hand.
