The Squirrel has returned
Posted: Mon Dec 31, 2018 6:28 pm
As an exercise with sketchup I did a drawing of the famous squirrel oven rack tool another member came up with some years ago.
I wanted to use sketchup so I could get an output that the SO could use and perhaps make a few more. Yes I did make them before but this is a bit different procedure this time.
I don't have any extra draw tools except bezier curves and I will have to get a few more to make this more viable. I use to have a few sets but that went away several versions ago and I didn't keep up with them. Problem is that there are so many to look at and then actually picking one, well almost overwhelming.
Haven't cut one yet, got to watch how much electricity I'm using to heat the shop after last months overrun. Get a few project lined up then heat and work and turn back off in a short run.
Not real happy with how it looks on paper but it might look better in real life...... or not. Worth a shot anyway. And then there is always V3.
