Goofing Off with SketchUp
I hate to say it, but I have done ZERO woodworking since last weekend. Sometimes you need a break and I did need to recover just a little. After drilling all those holes in end grain which required jack-hammer like force to accomplish, both of my elbows hurt a little. Almost like tennis elbow, so I guess it is possible for a woodworker to get cordless drill elbow? You heard it here first. Today, I am off to source some plywood. For my window seat bookcase, I am thinking about making the back and lower shelf (highlighted in blue above) from cherry plywood. Plywood will make the bookcase more rigid and I don’t have to worry about cross-grain wood movement if I decide to glue the plywood in place. Forming these parts from plywood will also be faster than creating a frame and panel back and shelf out of multiple parts. So plywood is on my mind today. What I have been doing… SketchUp. I continue to explore using SketchUp Pro for my next woodworking …
