Big Workbench #4.skp (761.9 KB)

Workbench with Vises (Revised)

Face and Tail Vise Parts #1.skp (173.3 KB) Big Workbench #3.skp (759.2 KB) I started a new topic, because I marked the other one as solved. (I think that’s the right protocol.) I took the screenshots from DaveR and modeled more detail, I moved the bench top, and made some small components and scenes. I had to make the vises in a separate model and then move copies of them into the workbench model. I was getting such extreme z fighting and read in a forum search to do it that way. I was still g…

Workbench with Face and Tail Vises

I see now what you mean about the groove. I placed the bench top wrong. If I slide the frame to the right, then the groove should align with the dog hole. There must be something not shown in the article like a groove for the top of the deadman blocking to fit into. I’m just guessing. Thank you Dave this clarifies my questions.

Sharpening Wheel

Sharpening Wheel (Hand Cranked) (#1).skp (128.4 KB) [Sharpening Wheel #1] Something I dreamed up to sharpen handplane blades and chisels. One has a 25 degree wedge for primary bevels, and the other has a 35 degree wedge for a microbevel. The thought is for the inner three components to spin when cranked and the casing and grips are held stationary.

Sliding Dovetail Saw

[Sliding Dovetail Saw #2] Sliding Dovetail Saw (#2).skp (439.9 KB) I redid this to round over the sharp edges of the handle. At first I tried to edit the handle and champher the edges. Because of the curves, I just made a mess. I started over, traced over the skp, made two copies an inch apart, used a quarter circle of an inch diameter, and used that to form the circular outline. I used entity info to reduce the number of segments in all the arcs from 12 to 3 to 5 segements. That made it easy…

Tool Hanging Board Progress

Tool Hanging Wall (#10).skp (939.1 KB) [Tool Hanging Wall #5] I finally got around to finishing the cabinet scraper. The hardest part was connecting the ends to the center components. there were lots of arcs. I also made the spokeshave hanger longer and spaced the pegs so everything fits. At this rate I may have to look at making the file lighter, or I’ll just find out how much my hardware can handle.

Bending Form Jig

[Bending Form Jig] Bending Form Jig #4.skp (528.9 KB) This is a new entry, because I changed the name of the file. It is no longer a kerfed form. There are two jigs for bending 1/8" thick laminates into a small and a bigger chair crest. Scenes show dimensions and templates for placing the blocks that are screwed and glued in place. Thanks for the help from Mihai and DaveR. Kerfing (from the other post) can be helpful to use on trimming a round table top.

Kerf Form (Bending) Process

I did not put any thought in determining the number and width of kerfs. You are right of course. I tend to pole vault over mouse droppings.

Chair Modeling Process

[Big Chair 3-4 View] Chair Seat (6).skp (1.1 MB) After looking at the small chair and how upright it would sit, I decided to make a Papa/Mama sized one that leans back a little more. I updated the skp, adding scenes for the big chair.

My Router Model

Thank you for looking and finding that. I will fix it. Router (3).skp (378.4 KB)

Chess Pieces

Chess Set Box (2).skp (2.2 MB) [Three Quarter View] Every Chess Set needs a box to put the board and pieces inside. I edited this post to add an updated skp. I made some dovetail changes and added a scene for the bottom which I had inadvertently forgotten.

Pole Lathe

Yeah, with a pole lathe you have only one foot on the ground and one working the treadle. You have to balance and work at the same time, a feat at 68 years old.

Inlay Cutters

Inlay Cutter (1).skp (187.1 KB) [Fenced Cutter, Exploded View] [Circular Cutter Dims] [Cutters 3-4 View] [Fenced Cutter Dims] I modeled these based on Rober Wearing’s example and put in my dimensions and a five-sided knob instead of a wingnut for the fenced cutter.

Sticking Board with Adjustable Fence

Sticking Board (2).skp (167.5 KB) [Dims.1] I left out the batten under the base for the vise clamp to the workbench.

Screw, 1/4" dia

I did use the flip along tool to get the threads to line up when I combined it with the screw tip. It worked well.

Marking Gauge

Marking Gauge (2).skp (224.7 KB) [Marking Gauge (2)] I noticed that the little cutoff pieces that reinforce the stem where the screw tightens the pen in place would block from setting the gauge to mark a line 1/4" away from the edge. Lots of times that would be where I would want to mark for making a tongue. So, I revised it.

Frame Box -Spline Jig

[Screenshot 2023-03-24 090612] Frame_Spline Jig (2).skp (232.3 KB) The changes in the screenshot make this jig more like one that Robert Wearing has in his book, Making Woodwork Aids & Devices. I like it better, because the only clamp needed is to clamp the jig to the workbench. A hold fast would work for that.

Bench Hooks and Jigs

[Bench Hooks and Jigs] Bench Hooks and Jigs (1).skp (383.2 KB) Some things I use or need to make for use at the workbench. It’s tagged and has scenes.

Shooting Boards

Shooting Boards (3).skp (426.2 KB) [Shooting Boards] [Speed Square] Based on an April 2018 Fine Wood Working article by Tim Rousseau, I use and I want to update two versions with the changes I show in this skp. I can use a speed square like in the screen shot or a plastic drafter’s triangle. Shooting Boards (4).skp (439.0 KB) [Speed Square Scene] I forgot to make the Speed Square Scene, that’s what I get for speeding.

Moving Filister Handplane

Updated after looking at Stavros Gakos video. I still made it Krenov like but thinner than I had it before. Moving Filister (4).skp (261.8 KB) [Updated]

V-Sled Jig for Router Table

[Screenshot 2023-03-12 105321] [Screenshot 2023-03-12 105425] V Jig (2).skp (141.2 KB) This is a Router Table Sled for a 3/8" dovetail bit. It will have stop blocks and the box clamped to it. The skp has the scenes and each component is tagged. Hope I got rid of all the loose geometry from cutting the notch using intersect faces. V Jig (3).skp (136.9 KB) I just deleted the loose geometry and added (3) skp.

Royce's Bee Hive Honey Super and Queen Excluder

Thanks, ateliernab, I’ll start posting in the gallery category instead of corner bar. instead of multiplying thread for each project, you could create one signle thread in the #sketchup:gallery section. The beehive base screen is a different size than the queen excluder screen. The screen on top of the base keeps all bees out, but the queen excluder allows the worker/nurse bees through. So the spacing is different. [Screenshot 2023-03-09 090602]

These are my gallery posts as Nab has mentioned. I left out some models from the corner bar category. The first skp is where I have revised the tailvise and of the bench where the tail vise is connected. I dreamt about it last night, knew something was definitely wrong and had to revise it this morning.

12’ by 10_ Shop #1.skp (356.2 KB)
I might be getting carried away with the framing. I don’t know much about framing, except I remember something about 16" centers and 24" bracing

[Royce]

I took one window away, updated the framing, added OSB sheathing and siding. Next, I want to figure out siding corners, soffitt and fascia.
12’ by 10_ Shop #2.skp (380.6 KB)

[Royce]

I added the base, roof texture, some ties and kings to the roof frame, facsia, soffitt, and siding corners.

12’ by 10_ Shop #4.skp (532.8 KB)
I added skp #4, because I read another thread about using the eyedropper tool to get texture to match in scale from one component to another. Thank you francisquitof.

Marquetry Sawing Donkey #1.skp (201.1 KB)
This sawing donkey was based on an article by Craig Vandall Stevens in Fine Woodworking Magazine #290 August 2021. The top support with the bird’s mouth is set at 8 degrees for using a fret saw to cut veneer. The saw is worked straight up and down with one hand and the other hand moves the veneer and the base (1/16" thick each). The bevel ensures a snug fit.
Marquetry Sawing Donkey #2.skp (258.5 KB)
Updated skp has 6 scenes with dimensions and descriptions.

Dutch-American Tool Chest #2.skp (738.8 KB)

This model is based on an article by Megan Fitzpatrick, “Build a Dutch Tool Chest” in Fine Woodworking Magazine (Issue No. 293, Winter 2021-2022). More scenes to follow in a couple of days.

[Royce]

Dutch-American Tool Chest (#3).skp (848.9 KB)
Two more scenes are posted above. More scenes with dims. are included in the skp. Note that
the strap hinges are real beefy, because I may make them from hard wood.
Dutch-American Tool Chest #4.skp (860.7 KB)
Skp #4 has placement of the strap hinge screws on the inside of lid corrected. I noticed they were off when I was making the scenes but forgot to correct them until now.

[Royce]

Dutch-American Tool Chest #5.skp (902.5 KB)

I used the tags to hide the top, strap hinge leaves, and screws to take this screenshot of the tool rack. There is a spacer between the tool rack and the back slat to slide in dovetail and tenon
saws, so I did not add a saw till.

Dutch-American Tool Chest #6.skp (909.7 KB)
I added the scene in the screenshot.

Stool (#1).skp (252.5 KB)
Based on an article by Paul Bouchard, Fine Woodworking Magazine, Issue # 299, Nov.
Dec. 2022, "Extracting the Past, I modeled this stool. But I made modern legs with socks. The rest is based on an ancient Egyptian stool, the artist studied. How the ancients managed all the curves is hard to imagine. Maybe from green stock and dried in a pre-made form.

Work Holding for Carving (#1).skp (139.4 KB)

I tried to make the track and frame as one component at first. Too many small errors to fix with the T-track resulted. So I started over and made the tile and then the frame, even though I would route the t-track in the frame in one piece.

[Royce]

Work Holding for Carving (2).skp (156.4 KB)
I added two scenes that show the frame and an inside groove that is part of the outside T-track.

Plan Chest (#1).skp (232.1 KB)

[Royce]

Don’t let anyone tell you that it is easy to make a face.

[Royce]

Compass.skp (188.3 KB)

[Royce]

Excuse me. I should have called it a divider.

[Royce]

Compass (2).skp (222.1 KB)
I added extra arms with caliper points.

[Royce]

Magazine Case #1.skp (360.3 KB)

Magazine/ Book Case with 11 scenes. I added a 12th scene, because I forgot to make a scene of the back.

Magazine Case #2.skp (365.8 KB)

[ateliernab]

Soon you’ll need to design the room containing all those things. And add them one by one as you model them

(and yeah, the face is a thing of nightmare)

[Royce]

That’s right. I don’t have sleepless nights; just nightmares.
