It’s not perfect, but its my first complicated sketch up drawing complete with dovetails, multiple scenes and exploded drawings.

Well done!
Thanks! We’ll see how it works out in the wood shop.
Nice work Marilyn. I have had several cad programs in the past and even used Sketchup for a time, but found that you needed to use these programs on a regular basis to become and stay proficient with them. Some years ago I gave up on cad for the woodshop and started hand sketching with pencil. I found this works best for me and takes a lot less time than doing cad drawings, but if you have the time cad delivers the best and most accurate drawings.
I know you’re right. As a matter of fact, I drew my next project while I was at it so I didn’t forget all that I had figured out.
It kinda reminds me of saw sharpening. I don’t have many and I don’t need to sharpen that often. Each time I have to relearn.
I’ll be trying to keep up my skills by continuing to draw thing.
I may have to give sketch up a try. I am making faux-raised panels for my latest project using different thicknesses for contrast. It was kind of hard to envision until I actually did it. I’m glad at least that my instincts were right, but sketch up may have taken out a lot of the guess work.
That’s awesome. I really like the sketch up on this. I’m still trying to learn the program. I have enough trouble thinking in 2D, so 3D is a killer. Great job.!
Thanks! Its certainly helped me figure out how to put it all together.
