Grab your shop apron and get ready because this week, @TheOnlyAaron is going to be modeling some woodworking hand tools. We’ll cover the techniques and tips to modeling some old classics, or take on some new innovations.
But the question is… What tools should Aaron model? Hand plane? Chisel? Thingamabob?
You decide!
Either way, let’s get dusty in this week’s SketchUp LIVE! Join us on YouTube, LinkedIn, or Facebook on Friday at 12pm MST
My suggestions would be as follows
All of which will allow Aaron to show very different techniques and materials.
Cheers
That looks like a Thingamabob to me.
Hiya Dave, Do you have one of those. Always wanted to TRY one out. Best, Transom (Steve S.)
Hi Steve,
I have half a dozen card scrapers, a lovely Lie-Nielsen bronze block plane, brace and bits, and I think in storage there’s an Odd Job in a box. I would love to have a No. 55 without the irons but so far I haven’t found a set I can afford.
Yes a 55 would be great. I had a 45 but had to let it go when I moved years ago.
How many of the parts can be left out without anyone noticing?
That’s the No. 55. You could do a few parts.
Maybe just model the tote off of a #4 hand plane.
And here I was thinking of modeling a mallet and a square… guess I don’t get off that easy…
A mallet and a square would be OK to limber up with.
On the bright side I didn’t suggest something like this:
And I think Dave already suggested a card scraper.
I was thinking a square would be good a couple days ago since you modeled a couple rulers. The Japanese ones are cool.
Smoothing Plane.skp (132.3 KB) Modeled this Smoother with SU 17 before I learned a lot from watching SketchUp Live.
How about the good ol’ reliable Yankee screwdriver?
The original cordless!
But just as with the battery powered ones, it’s happy to go skittering across your work piece if you aren’t paying attention.
I worked for a small woodworking shop and we had a booth at a convention. Union shop for the floor work. We could setup our own booth but no power tools. My boss was retired union carpenter. We had like 300 screws to put in (pre drilled, pre assembled at the shop). He busted out three of those and he blew my mind.
