A. Folding Rule #1.skp (131.0 KB)
This was an exercise in alignment. I had to use the “Dave Method” to make the arcs in the Joint component. I did not bother with the numbers on the rule but did the hash marks as a texture. Folding the rule up was interesting, too.
A. Pocket Rule Pivot (Compass) #1.skp (688.0 KB)
A simple Pocket Rule Compass can be made using this model. 
A. Improv. Box #1.skp (42.0 KB)
This is an in progress view to show how I figured out how to quickly determine the angles for the sides of staves for an elliptical shaped box. I thought this was interesting, because before I would get tiny discrepancies in the angles.

A. Default Template #1.skp (70.3 KB)
Anyone who wants to see an example of a template for SketchUp Go can use this and save into Trimble Connect. I show in these screenshots the scenes for a “scaled screen” for importing images and materials. Once you open the template and import, you have to remember to “save as” to have a blank template. Model Info on this file has length snapping turned off; 1/64” precision. Of course, once you save your new file, you have to remember to erase the scenes that are 10’ above the origin.
A. Wasp #1.skp (165.9 KB)
Yes, I had to us the “Dave Method” again to extrude the leg/antenna components with the follow me tool. I used the divide from the right click and rotated segments to make the arcs for the neck, head and body. For the eyes and stinger I offset the smallest circle that I could make to get even small diameters. The wasps here with orange bodies pack a wallop when they sting.
A. Two-Part Box #1.skp (163.3 KB)
This box will sit inside a chest. The Lid and Top lift off of the Bottom where different size drill bits are stored vertically.
A. Yaadaas Corner Poles #1.skp (2.2 MB)
This is going to take a while. You can see I started at the base.
Edit #1:
A.1 Yaadaas Corner Poles #2.skp (2.3 MB)
It took me a while to do the components for the Fox. First, I tried to do the whole Fox in one swoop. It was too difficult to make all those curvy shapes into one solid component. I then tried breaking down the Fox into components and placing them. Since, components like the Eye are off axis, I would draw a rectangle for the axis to align/reference the flip tool. I saw in one of @TheOnlyAaron’s Friday videos how to do that. You see the next figure I want to model right next to the pole in the screenshot. By dragging that image next to the pole, it is easier to size and place components.
A. Wing Divider #1.skp (127.6 KB)
A wing divider - After you find the three pieces of hardware, you can make the wings and arc from an old circular saw blade using a hack saw, drill, grinder and file.
A. Wedge-Clamp #1.skp (157.7 KB)
This Wedge-Clamp is designed to be placed on an Assembly Table or Workbench to glue up panels. To keep the panel from buckling when it is wedged, a holdfast and batten can be used across it.
A. Batten Clamp #1.skp (119.1 KB)
Here’s another shop made clamp. I can see having two of these and pairs of these in other dimensions.
A. Sharpening Board #1.skp (158.1 KB)
This board can be held in a vise and used as a sharpening platform. Depending on the blade/chisel holder/roller used, stops can also be attached for setting the desired sharpening angle. Lots of space is available to have sharpening accessories at hand.
A. Spline Practice #1.skp (103.8 KB)
This is practice modeling frame and panels. I like the one closest to the front, because the spline does not need to be notched.
A. Dovetail Case #1.skp (1.7 MB)
I’m not making any more scenes of all the tools and case. I might make separate files with one of two tools in it copied from this one, though. I was curious what it would look like to have all of the dovetail tools I use in one tool case, and I came up with this. It would be too busy to label them all with dims. and notes in this file. If I do later, it will just be the case. But I’m not making this. I was just curious what it would look like.
A. Tenon Saw.skp (158.3 KB)
I copied this from the previous file and refined it with bevels. I caught myself tagging incorrectly in the wrong context, but I think I caught it all.
A. Dovetail Saw #1.skp (214.2 KB)
This is a replica of my dovetail saw with the handle I made for it. Note the “hang” is illustrated by angling it as if it were being held with forearm flat on a workbench.
A. Flush Cut Saw #1.skp (479.4 KB)
This is a replica or my old Stanley Flush Cut Saw. I use it all the time for fine tuning after dovetails and pins are sawn. I don’t have to take the workpiece out of the vise when sawing the last tiny cuts to the layout lines. The saw is held at the correct angle by the kerf or shoulder.
A. Coping Saw #1.skp (220.8 KB)
I downloaded to my documents since Trimble is still having issues. Whenever Trimble’s issues are cleared up I’ll save this there too. The last of the saws in the Dovetail set is the coping saw.
