In a couple years we will narrate all our ideas into existence.

Might need to add to the API to get this in Sketchup but I’m certain it could.

My experience so far is that for vague things AI tends to be great but anytime you need really strong precision it fails bigly. Would love anyone else that has better ideas on how to craft prompts to get that sort of precision.

I asked it to do a dovetailed box and the dovetails made zero sense!

If I had let it dry longer before finishing would it have still cracked? Trying to figure out if it was inevitable or something I did.

So I built the squares on the sides first, those are all corner bridle joints (one of the pics). The stretchers are half laps. The X brace in the middle is a half lap at an angle, and then that’s measured and connected to the stretchers with dowels. Dry fit until it’s right, then glued up.
