This can be made with cedar and white oak for outside use or any wood for indoor use. A plastic bag can be inserted with the opening draped over the top rails and stiles. Either/or a plywood top and bottom can be added with packaging material for shipping something inside. An outdoor compost bin could be another use. Etc., etc.

I worked through some bug splats but managed to finish this router table first draft.

This island can be in a kitchen or anywhere you can have access to open the drawer fronts. I have some duplicate parts copied on top on one another in places. The model was getting full for my laptop and for SU Go, too.

The reference for this model is Tage Frid Teaches Woodworking, Tauton Press, 1985, Chapter 5, p. 122-133. As @DaveR said in another thread, there are many compound angles. Note that there is an upholstered seat, although thin (one inch).

Yeah. Mine has the upholstered seat, too.

I use a lot of tape and need to make something like this. Maybe @TheOnlyAaron can attach this to his bench tomorrow.

When I modeled the Hexagon Island above, the detail on the drawer front and frame was not finished. Then, the file got so big that it was slow to update, complicated by some duplicated copying, too. This model is about detail needed for a swing drawer front and the frame. The inset scene, screenshot tells the story.
This taperer is for making plugs. Although I thought at first it would be simple, it took me a while to figure out the angles and the dimensions for the notch where the blade goes. If you make the notch just a simple rabbet, you end up with a skewed taper. You either have to put the cone off axes or the notch to get a straight plug. I found it easier to make the notch off axes.

Another simple model with 5 components that took me entirely too long to make.

After reading one of @medeek 's threads and seeing a post by Box, I got some ideas for this bench. It can be used as a sharpening bench, an auxillary work bench, an assembly bench, etc.

The ideas for this came from Fine Woodworking Magazine from articles and blogs. This combines Peter Galbert’s jig with another jig that luthiers use.

Another model of a circular saw guide I made in an attempt to be able to saw a straight kerf in a split log. The split log would be planed where the kerf is to be made. It would need to be supported by wedges and clamped below the plywood.

I opened up a tool catalog and picked something like this model. I made some changes just in case I try to make it with some wood parts.

A mostly wood Front Vise was my goal with this model. The inserts here are meant for a bench with a three inch thick Top.

I made some changes to what I’ve modeled earlier from multiple sources. The reason is so that I could use some more organized tags and useful scenes.

A. Moxon Chop with Lambstongue Bevel #1.skp (115.1 KB)
I was looking at old Design, Click, and Build videos at the Fine Woodworking site and saw @DaveR’s Moxon with Lambstongue Bevel. I had to try it in Go. I used the arc tool and scale tool and came up with the one in the screen shot.

A. Bow Saw 400 #1.skp (697.2 KB)
The thing that is different about this bow saw from the others I’ve modeled is the Japanese style teeth on the blade. These took me a while to model. There were over 100 teeth or about 15 per inch. The teeth are staggered from both sides of the blade about 1/16" apart along the red axis. After tracing a tooth from an image, I pasted it on the blade and copy/moved/arrayed 1/8" apart on one side. Then, copy/moved them wider of the other side of the blade and staggered them 1/16" before moving them on the other side of the blade. The tricky part was erasing the lines at the bottom between the staggered teeth without erasing faces. That necessitated tracing a short edge of each tooth before erasing the bottom line. Do that over 100 times, and you will feel the monotony. The turnbuckle was tricky too. Once I decided to use the Dave Method, though it didn’t take long. I didn’t bother with making all the knots and loops for the para cord.

When I Zoom Extents, I cannot find the Saw
That’s because there’s a short edge located at a long distance from the origin.
@Royce nice model. I fixed the stray edge and incorrect tag usage.

how did you find the short edge? I thought there was something a distance from the origin. But I could not find it by zooming out.
