With our trip to SFMOMA last Saturday, I didn’t get much done in the workshop. Certainly nothing worth taking a photo of so how about a woodworking plan?
Our church is starting a project to make little library boxes for a local neighborhood. I am helping out the wooding team (someone read my blog and thought I was a ‘real’ woodworker). Some how I got the job of making the basic drawings, cut list and materials estimates. Here’s a rough sketch of the thing.
Starting the design
Of course as soon as I posted it I realized I messed up the location of the dimensions so I’ll be going back to the drawing computer. Hum, doesn’t sound as good as, “Going back to the drawing board.”
If you need me – I’ll be doing SketchUp

Your SketchUp skills are very good. Dimensions are tricky in SketchUp.

I put dimensions on the components because I wanted to play around the most efficient way to cut the parts out of a single sheet. Then I thought, “I should model the prototype to make sure everything fits.” Then I realized that I shouldn’t have put the dimensions in the components. Oh well, something to fix.
