Models by Royce

A draftsman desk?

Isn’t the style something like Georgian/Early Victorian instead of Baroque? Brings to mind illustrations to Dickens novels.

I couldn’t find any information on the desk. It was on an autioneer’s site and just said it was period furniture. What period is a question.

I think the description is a writing desk, but I’m not sure. I couldn’t find any information.

A. Federal Cabinet #1.skp (1.3 MB)

This is based on an image that had some details that I could not quite make out. I just improvised on making the Stringing and Ornament on top (which my wife said looked like a penguin). The Decorative Drawer Fronts may not be drawer fronts in the image, but my wife said that drawers would be more useful. :sweat_smile:

A. Queen Anne Corner Chair #1.skp (1.0 MB)

This was another attempt at making a model based upon an image. Needless to say, there’s a lot of dimensional guess work. :wink:

i don’t know why, but this chair makes me hungry for pie. and you did it on pi(e) day. neat.

A. Plant Ladder Stand #1.skp (289.9 KB)

This model was a request by my wife. She loves plants.

A. Dovetail Guide #1.skp (127.7 KB)

I was experimenting with how to make a dovetail guide.

A. Upholsterer’s Tool Box #1.skp (547.3 KB)

If I ever take up making upholstered chair seats and backs, I’ll need a tool box to keep the special hand tools.

A. Pallet-Dolly #1.skp (317.8 KB)

This is an example of my imagination running wild or improvisation again. It would probably need some help. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Tilting Cradle -Tags Fixed.skp (410.2 KB)

@DaveR helped me fix incorrect tag issues. This is in the book by Robert Wearing, Making Woodwork Aids & Devices. This Tilting Cradle is for attaching to a drill press and holding legs for chairs, tables, or other oval things. I’m not sure how you use the Quadrant Stay but I guessed as you can read in the screenshot. The Stirrup Clamp (or as Wearing calls it Cramp) that the author describes used a braised hexnut instead of a threaded through-hole as I modeled. A U-bolt might work, too.


A. Table Vise #1.skp (162.6 KB)


This is another model based on Robert Wearing’s book Making Woodwork Aids and Devices . It is like a handscrew without the long handles and can be used on tables for tablesaws, routers, bandsaws, drillpresses and sanding disk machines. I also gave one example of how to explode models easily in the first scene/screenshot.

A. English TC (Revised) #1.skp (1.2 MB)








I revised my version of an English tool chest that I originally modelled about three years ago. I attempted to make Tag Folders before modelling from scratch to better organize it. It was much easier to make sure tags were in the correct folder that way. I did keep thinking of things to add on when in the process, though (casters, skids, lock, etc.) I also changed the way I made the drawers from three years ago. Thanks to @DaveR for the suggestion to make Tag Folders ahead of time. :sweat_smile:

I modelled this from a Woodsmith pdf. It’s a small miter box for trim or small workpieces. Note that it has finger-holes for holding the workpiece against the fence.

This is based on another Woodsmith pdf. I liked the idea of sawhorses that support a knockdown workbench/assembly table. I made up the dims. using the image as a guide, but the plans can be purchased from the Woodsmith website. :cowboy_hat_face:

A. Twinscrew Vise #1.skp (1.1 MB)






I bought a plan of this Twinscrew Vise from Woodsmith Magazine for between 12 and 13 USD. It has detailed instructions and a life sized image of the Idler/Gear drive that can be printed out for tracing. I used SU to go through the mental process of assembling and making it. Buy the plan if you want to build one. You really need to drill, making sure all the holes align properly (Use a Drill Press, if you have one.)

The articles in Popular Woodworking by Brian DeJong about this chest were in the latest issues (#s 288 & 289), was what this model was based upon. It is not quite an exact copy but close. There are lots of features, including curves, carvings, corbels, trim, moldings, etc. :sweat_smile:

A. Rout & Plane Accessory #1.skp (306.4 KB)




I needed the Rout & Plane Accessory, because the clamp that came with Woodpecker’s Rout & Plane gets in the way for workpieces over 18" long. Then, I thought another base could be used for edge jointing and tapering.

This could be used in a “mud room” or the back porch, etc. This for wet clothes.
