Site-Worker's "Refreshment Kit"

[jonny round boy]

I've been messing about in SketchUp again!!!

Thought it would be good if Festool made something like this, maybe as a promotional item? It's a Sys2, with a small 750ml (1 1/4 pint) kettle (with a plug-it connector, of course!), 2 mugs, 2 teaspoons, containers for tea, coffee & sugar, and a little 280ml / 1/2 pint flask to keep milk in.

Or for those that don't drink tea or coffee (and have someone else to drive) ;D ;D ;D

[Jesse Cloud]

Rolling on the floor laughing!!!  I wonder how Festool would price it?

 

[Administrator_JSVN]

Ah yes... the fabled Beertainer and Kegtainer.  You can get these at your local SysPub - coming soon to a city near you.

Another thing to watch for when buying Festool, kinda like having to use metric - I think the Brits prefer their beer at room temperature!
So the thing would have to be re-engineered for the US market and probably be NAINA for years - oh well!

You try working here in the UK, in an un-heated house, in the middle of December - It magically keeps itself cool!

Jonny, nice job! But quite screwing around and get back to work on your SkecthUp model of the Kapex.    ;D

Aw, boo 

I thought you'd have forgotten about that by now - I had  ???

You are, of course, quite right (or should that be quit right ). I should get it finished....

you're right!!!!    but can you really fit 8 beers in a systainer?

I didn't see any beers in a Systainer. Just some cans of water I think.

I've been contacted by another FOG member about this model - Joel K - he's been a lurker since January, but hasn't posted anything yet. He's very kindly done these renders of my model:

I thought I should share them - I told him he should post them himself (and break his duck) but it seems he's a little bit shy.... ;D

That's soooooo neat! Well done Joel K.

Joel K.

Great! You have turned it to an art form.

One can learn the most astonishing things in this group!

Jonny, I didn't even know that I had a duck, much less that it needed to be broken!
Apparently I did and, with this posting number one, I have now done the deed.  Thank you...,  I think.

This phrase has an interesting history.  The World Wide Words web site has a good explanation.  See:  http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-bre2.htm

Some of the alternative explanations found at this site  http://www.motorsportforums.com/forums//archive/index.php/t-113483.html 
are much more entertaining!

Anthony and James, thank you for the kind words, but all of the credit for artistry must go to Jonny.  As a SketchUp user myself, I'm amazed at what he's done.

Those who are interested in SketchUp and are also interested in photo-realistic rendering should take a look at the renderings on the SU Podium web site at  http://www.suplugins.com/  They will knock your socks off!

The SU Podium interface is simple, consistent with SketchUp, and runs entirely within SketchUp.

The trial version which can be downloaded for free, does not expire and differs from the commercial version only in the image resolution sizes which it will produce.  The price of the commercial version is pretty reasonable, relative to what it will do, when compared to some of the other rendering products which are available.

I've been using SU Podium for only a couple of weeks.  If you decide to check it out, take a look at the Omni Lights feature.  That's what I used to place the light source for the renderings of Jonny's Refreshment Kit.

Now that I've broken my duck and have shed a little light on the subject of rendering, I can go back to lurking and trying to absorb some of the wealth of information from the real artists and craftsmen in the group.

Americans might say goose egg, but in Boston they sometimes sub in donut or bagel.

I didn't get it at all.  I thought "duck" was some Cockney slang for hymen

JRB, i'm just kidding!

Anthony, that was exactly my thought.

Jonny, I could (almost) forgive a Yank for clamiing that that swill is beer, but living in the UK you should know better.  ;D

 

[John Langevin]

Ditto Frank, it should be Beck's, then the bottle would be the right color, plus you could actually drink it!

 

[Frank Pellow]

John, Beck's would certtainly be much better -but I would choose Guiness.

If you allowed a space for the Crown Royal, then certain non-elitist politicians could share a shot and a beer with fellow small town Americans.
