Six Board Sketch Up Model

I’ve been playing around with the Sketch Up model, making measurements and adding a little decoration.  The feet on the chest has always looked a little spindly and I’ve been looking at this.

It’s possible that my boards are wide enough that I might be able to make the front piece all as one.  If not, the pieces can be added separately.

I might use something like this to provide back support.

Need to get rid of some extra tools??

Extra tools are always a puzzle for me.  Do I sell them, give them away or something else.  Selling is tricky involving negotiating a price, mailing, packaging, etc.  And finding some one who needs something I don’t is fun, but can also be tricky.

Here’s another really cool idea .. build a tool chest, fill it with tools, and a portable bench – then give it away to an eager student, without the resources to obtain their own tools.  Check out the project here:

I’ve been following Sam’s site for a while and have been intrigued by what he’s been doing.  Here’s another vote of confidence by Chris Schwarz – The Best Home for Extra Tools
