   None of us has found the magazine yet, but there was a review of sorts a couple of months ago.

   The mag. is Popular woodworking, and I got my cc in an order from L-N, as a freebie.  The "review" was less than helpful, IMHO.  I think it was in the March or April issue.

   "...less than helpful."  That's probably why I didn't remember which mag it was in!forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl   ;-)

   Dano,

     Go to amazon .com and do asearch for Quick Cad from Autodesk . I just got it and its pretty cool. $46 + dollars. There is a learning curve

                                                                                   Good Luck,

   Dano, I use Corel Draw 11 for all my drawings for joinery plans etc. Before I used Corel Xara for a number of years until I changed to a Mac.

   Thanks everyone!

   I believe it's something I will take up slowly.  Same old story:  buy a book on it , read about it, then try it out, take a class if the desire is there.  That system seems to work for everything.

   Have a good day.

   Hi Dano, et al,

   I use a program call DrawLite..from Bridge City Toolworks.

   It was $50-$60 bucks, is incredibly user-friendly and does what I need it to do.  I use it for all of my furniture designs...tables, dressers, boxes, etc.

   It's not a sophisticated CAD program....won't do 3D modeling, etc.  But I was using it out of the box after an hour....very short learning curve.

   E-mail me if you've got questions:  lpileeap@aol.com or http://www.kesslercraftsman.com
