A sled with hold down clamps for machine tables was the goal here.
A. Drill Jig #1.skp (651.7 KB)
Imagine if you had to make your own drill jig using threaded rod, a spring, and four screws. This would convince you to buy one from Milescraft. 
A. Curved Shell with Native Tools #1.skp (239.8 KB)
After reading other posts by @mihai.s and others, I had to try a curved shell with native tools. I made it as simple as possible and tried to use the least amount of geometry. 
A. Long Panel Clamp #1.skp (785.2 KB)
Eventually I need a way to hold 24 inch wide panels to saw dovetails. My current moxon vise on my bench-top bench will only hold panels narrower than that by about five inches. So I used an old file of my bench and bench-top bench to figure out the easiest way to make a wide panel holding fixture. I had to clean up the old file that I made a few years ago, and I still need to organize the component definitions, make tag folders, etc. But this is about the holding fixture for wide panels.

When I replace my Bench Top Bench, I’m going to replace it with this one.
A. Coffee Table Version 1 #1.skp (394.5 KB)
I watched a video at the Woodsmith Website about a coffee table like this. There’s of course was beautifully machined with table saw, band saw, and router. This one I modeled has more handwork joinery. Go figure. 
A. Tool Holder 1 #1.skp (460.7 KB)
After seeing a picture of a tool holder in WoodSmith Magazine online, I had to model these. One to hang and one to stand up. 
A. Joinery Sled #1.skp (695.4 KB)
I
I apologize for the scenes being too busy with notes. This was a complicated sled based on a commercial one. I think that I would buy the joinery sled from Woodpecker before trying to make this one. It was fun to model, even though it took me four re-makes (trying figure out how things connected).

Here’s another bird we see in the Winter season that loves bird seed and pecans.
A. White Oak Leaf Panel #1.skp (283.5 KB)
To make the oak leaf after tracing the outline of one-half of the leaf on the image, I had to flip copy it on the blue axis. But before that I had to orient as best as I could to the be on axes. Then after the flip copy I had to fix the less than perfect alignment. I gave the oak leaf then about 1” thickness by selecting the myriad of faces and push/pulling. At this stage I didn’t have a solid oak leaf. I made the Inlay frame using the rectangle tool and push/pulling it to 1/8” thick. I then put the the Oak Leaf through the Inlay Frame out of context. I exploded the oak leaf and pasted it inside the Inlay in the edit mode. I selected all of the geometry and erased all the internal and external faces. making an outline of the Oak leaf on the outside face of the Inlay component. Then, I extruded the oak leaf through the Inlay rectangle. I made the oak leaf solid by copying the outline left on the Inlay, pasting it out of context, and push/pulling it to 1/8” thick. Whew, done.

This is based on a tip in the Woodsmith Magazine members’ website. You tighten and loosen it with a Ratchet Wrench.

I chose the color of the flower from a picture of a flower called Pink Dame’s Rocket.
A. Hold-Down #1.skp (143.8 KB)
I dreamed this up because my spouse complained about noise when I hammered a hold fast. I would have to make a prototype to see if it works.
A. Tool Box #1.skp (1.3 MB)
I don’t know why I get so facinated by tool boxes and chests. I don’t even know if I will ever make this one. I based it totally on the picture of a Woodsmith Magazine cover. I never read the issue or that magazine issue. I guessed at dimensions and unseen joinery. I don’t know where they sourced the hardware or even the terminology for some of it. The only kind of lid support to keep the lid open, I found on the McMasters Carr online catalogue. I just winged the lid support in this model, though. It was fun.
A. Small Flattener #2.skp (177.7 KB)
I need to make this small flattener for my Router.
Edit: I made some changes so that the router can move on two axes. The first version would only work to make a groove or dado. Now, it can be a small flattner.
A. Spice Chest #1.skp (267.9 KB)
Here is a work in progress based on an article in Populal Woodworking magazine by Brian DeJong, "Harlem Spice Chest,” (issue #288) and will be finished in a later article. The next article will cover the drawers, door, moldings and corbels. At first I didn’t want to make a model in SketchUp but after reading the article and how the author makes it with lots of hand tools, I decided to do it.
A. Roman Table #1.skp (465.2 KB)
I searched the internet for period furniture and found this image. I first made it way too tall and used the scale tool to guess at the dimensions. That is why the measurements are so strange. I used the line tool to make the geometric lines that are in the image, then I made the line color what you see in the screen shot. I think that I read somewhere that the Chinese were the first to make furniture with cabriole legs. So somehow the Romans either re-invented it later or the style was transferred to them.

Here’s a 17th century desk that I thought would be interesting to model.
